Private Zone has looked good in his last two starts, has three wins, a second and a third in his last five dirt starts looks for his third win in four starts Saturday. He has posted four straight bullet workouts in preparation for this race. Martin Pedroza rides the 122 pound highweight from post 5.

Wicked Strong - was last seen recording a DNF after clipping heels and falling in the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park in September - a result that followed a second to V.E. Day in the Travers Stakes August 23 and good win over Tonalist in the Grade 2 Jim Dandy July 26. This after consecutive fourth place finishes - in the Belmont Stakes and in the Kentucky Derby and an eye-opening win - in the Grade 1 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct April 5. Wicked Strong has 11 career starts with three wins, two seconds and a third place finish and had been in every start last year before the disappointment of the Gold Cup. Rajiv Maragh has been tabbed to ride from post 2 in Wicked Strong's first race in six months and what he hopes is a strong bounceback effort.

Valid -Marcus Vitali trained gelding has 23 career starts with eight wins, four seconds and four third place finishes. He has placed in eight of his last nine starts with four wins over that span. Last time out was a good win on this track in the Grade 3 Fred W. Hooper Stakes February 7 after a fourth in the Grade 3 Hal's Hope Stakes here January 10, a second in the minor Harlan's Holiday Stakes in December and a pair of victories including the minor Eight Miles West Stakes in October. Valid has been very competitive the last year, has won three out of his last four starts at this distance and should be in the mix Saturday. Paco Lopez has the call from the outside post.

East Hall - William Kaplan trained gelding has 21 career starts with five wins, four seconds and four third place finishes. He enters off a somewhat disappointing fifth in the Grade 1 Donn Handicap here after a good second in the Florida Sunshine Millions Classic here January 17, a nice win by two lengths in the minor Millions Classic Preview Stakes at Gulfstream Park West November 8 and another good win - in the Grade 2 Indiana Derby October 4. Before that was a disappointing sixth in the Grade 2 Super Derby and a string of good results in minor stakes action - a win at 9-1 odds in the Ohio Derby in July and consecutive seconds - behind Wildcat Red the Quality Road Stakes and the Sir Bear Stakes. East Hall has three wins and three seconds in his last eight starts overall - competitive virtually every time out. Luis Saez will be in the saddle from post 3.

Loverbil - Jorge Navarro trained gelding has 32 career starts with nine wins, five seconds and four third place finishes but makes his graded stakes debut Saturday. He enters on a three race win streak - a Starter Optional Claiming last time out, the minor Express Stakes December 6 and an Allowance Optional Claiming in November. Before that he was runner-up in two straight starts. Loverbil steps up in competition in good form but will likely be in tough from gate 4 with Carlos Marquez guiding him.
