Like What I See 3-1

Nicholas Gonzalez trained gelding has five career starts with two wins and two second-place finishes. He arrives on a nice two race win streak - the listed, six-furlong Colin Stakes last time out on this track September 2 and a MSW also here August 20. Before that was an OK second in a MSW July 30, a somewhat disappointing sixth in the listed Victoria Stakes here July 8 and a second in his debut June 11. Like What I See has shown some serious improvement and hopes to make it three straight wins in his graded stakes debut - from gate 4 with Emma-Jayne Wilson guiding the most experienced entry in the field and intriguing third choice.

Lookin to Strike 6-1

Trainer Mark Casse will send out Lookin to Strike for his third career start. His first resulted in a seventh at Gulfstream July 20 - a result that was followed by a nice maiden score in this track last time out. He significantly improved in his second race and hopes to continue that trend from the rail Sunday. Patrick Husbands will be in the saddle.

Michael Dickinson trained colt has a win and a second-place finish in two career starts. He enters off a maiden score at Laurel Park September 24 which followed a second in a similar race - at Delaware Park July 27.
