COMMENTS: LIFE IS GOOD is the 1 to 9 morning line favorite for a reason. You have to try to beat him starting with FORT PECK who won his last by 6 3/4 lengths with a couple of strong works since. DOUBLY BLESSED last race looks bad considering the result, but the first half of the race was one of his better starts. CHANCE IT might improve in his second start off the bench and has hit the board in nine of 10 outings.

COMMENTS: LAKE LUCERNE won her last with the top, last race speed figure. POCKET SQUARE is essentially an all or nothing horse with four wins and a third in eight starts. MADE IN ITALY has not raced since July 21st. Her workouts hint at a return to her European form. MISS TEHERAN has a pair of seconds in two at Belmont and on the board in seven of 10 on turf.
