SUGAR JONES

Finish: 1st by neck
Beyer: 84
The flashy chestnut upset Kasuga in a second-level optional claimer, and is unbeaten in three allowance outings at the meet. Stakes-placed last year at 3, she should be ready to take another crack at stakes company.

UNBRIDLED PIPER

Last race: Aug. 13, fifth
Finish: fourth by 11
Beyer: 65
He was stuck in traffic in a non-winners of two hybrid route for Ontario-sired allowance stock and $40,000 claimers, a month after finishing a close fifth following a wide trip at the same level.

PEPPERED
Trainer: Reade Baker
Last race: Aug. 13, sixth
Finish: third by 3 1/4
Beyer: 48
After getting away slowly in a five-furlong maiden special for 2-year-olds, the son of Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner Tapizar came wide from 10 lengths back to finish a clear third.
