B D SAINTS (3) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when seventh, beaten 22 lengths, over 1811m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. GOLDEN PURCHASE (1) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being prominent at the corner over 1811m at Aqueduct, beaten 1.75 lengths. That followed a win at Aqueduct the start prior. Likely improver with strong prospects. SOLO EMPIRE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1609m at Aqueduct, beaten 13 lengths into sixth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. BECAUSE THE NIGHT (2) came home powerfully and got up for third over today's trip at Aqueduct (Dirt) last start. Expected to feature again.
