Mark Casse trained colt has one career starts and one good win – on this very track August 12. Machtree showed an affinity for The Spa and hopes to make the most of his stakes debut from post 7 Wednesday. Luis Saez is scheduled to ride the third choice.
Earth 6-1
Highly regarded Todd Pletcher trained colt has a win and a third-place finish in his two career starts. He makes his graded stakes debut Wednesday off an OK third as favorite in the minor Tyro Stakes at Monmouth Park August 6 after a maiden score at first asking at Gulfstream Park June 11 – both of his starts were at 5 1/2 furlongs. Earth has been decent so far in his career, is expected to benefit from the added distance and will be after a career-defining win Wednesday from gate 4. Javier Castellano has the mount.
Untamed Domain 6-1
Has two career starts for trainer Graham Motion with one win. He makes his stakes debut Saturday off that win – on this track July 22 after a fourth in his debut at Laurel Park July 2. Untamed Domain has shown improvement and hopes to keep the trend going in his stakes debut – from gate 8.

Will saddle up for just the second time for trainer Michael Dilger having posted a win in his only career start so far – a MSW by an eye-opening four lengths on this track August 9. Evaluator tries to remain unbeaten in his major step up in competition when he leaves from post 9 with Joel Rosario guiding him.
Catholic Boy 15-1
Will hit the track for just the second time for trainer Jonathan Thomas having posted a win in his only start to date – at Gulfstream Park July 20. Catholic Boy looked good in that race and hopes to make it two-for-two to start his career from post 3. Manuel Franco has been tabbed to ride.
Irish Territory 15-1
Irish bred Bill Mott trained colt hits the track for the second time hoping to make some noise off an ugly seventh in his only career start – on this track August 5.

Morrison 20-1
Joe Sharp trained colt has two career starts with one win – that coming in his debut at Belmont Park June 18.

Morrison will be out to make a major statement Wednesday when he leaves from the rail with Irad Ortiz aboard.
Nauti Buoy 20-1
Erin McClellan trained gelding has one win in his two career starts – that being a maiden score at first asking at Laurel Park July 2.

Fort Wise Treaty 20-1
Brad Cox trained colt will race for just the second time having posted a nice win in his only career start – at Ellis Park July 4. He looked good in that race and hopes to be again in his stakes debut Wednesday. Florent Geroux will be in the saddle from post 5.
