Mister Marti Gras has been a close second in the past two editions of the Hanshin Cup (Four Footed Fotos)

Eight older horses will square off in the one-mile event and Hogy enters in good form for trainer Scott Becker, with the six-year-old gelding earning his fifth career victory over the Polytrack when posting a 3 1/4-length tally against allowance/optional claiming foes on June 12.

Mister Marti Gras, who missed by only a head when second in an Arlington allowance/optional claimer two back, will wheel back off seven days rest and switch surfaces for conditioner Chris Block following a fifth in the grassy Stars and Stripes (G3).

Other runners include Hammers Terror (Artie Schiller) and Agent Di Nozzo (Ghostzapper).
