Keep Quiet 12-1 – French bred Mark Casse trained colt failed to place in his first two career starts – a fifth and a sixth respectively at Belmont Park but finally broke through August 6 on that track. He has since stepped up with good success – last time out was a nice win in the G3 Dixiana Bourbon Stakes at Keeneland October 9 and before that was a second ion the G2 With Anticipation Stakes at Saratoga August 31.

Made You Look has looked very good in the lead-up to this race and looks to make it three straight wins from post 5 Friday. Javier Castellano gets the call.
Favorable Outcome 15-1 – will race for the third time for trainer Chad Brown having posted a nice six length win in his first career start – a six furlong race at Saratoga August 20 and an OK third in his only other action – the G1 Champagne Stakes last time out at Belmont Park October 8.

Wellabled 15-1 – Larry Rivelli trained colt has been impressive in his four race career – three wins and a second place finish. He enters on a two race win streak – the minor Fitz Dixon Jr. Memorial Juvenile Stakes at Presque Isle Downs October 6 and the G3 Arlington-Washington Futurity September 10. Before that was a second in the minor Skidmore Stakes at Saratoga in August and a win at first asking in July. Wellabled has been a factor every time out and chases his biggest win to date from post 9. E.T Baird is scheduled to ride.
Bowies Hero 15-1 – has two wins in three career starts for trainer Phil D’Amato. His wins came in his first two starts – the best of which coming in the minor Del Mar Juvenile Turf September 3 but he stumbled to an eighth last time out in the minor Zuma Beach Stakes on this track October 10. Bowies Hero will be after a strong bounce back Friday when he departs from gate 10 with Julien Leparoux in the irons.
Rodiani 15-1 – Simon Crisford trained colt has won four of his five career starts. He makes his North American debut Friday off his only blemish – a ninth in the Group 3 Dubai 100 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket October 8. Before that was a win in the minor Flying Scottsman Stakes at Doncaster September 9 and three straight wins to start his career. Rodiani has been impressive but will be after a strong bounce back from an uncharacteristic outing when he departs from gate 12 with Lanfranco Dettori guiding him.
Ticonderoga 15-1 – has a win and two second place finishes in three career starts for trainer Chad Brown. Last time out was a decent second in his stakes debut – the G3 Dixiana Bourbon Stakes at Keeneland October 9 after a maiden score at Belmont Park September 10 and a second in his debut August 13. Ticonderoga chases his first stakes win from an unfortunate gate 14 Saturday with Rafael Bejarano aboard.
