Race 1 Comments: POCKET WATCH N qualified a ton here twice earlier this month and now gets the pole for Catskill debut. 10-year-old should be set to wire short field for strong Midwest connections. ADMIRAL has paced fast miles here in recent and looms the danger to top one.

Race 3 Comments: PREACHER OLLIE beat most of these in amateur event last time. Moves outside but has the speed to make the top, where you want to be in these events, and is the choice to repeat for pilot enjoying a big year in these events.
