BANNED FOR LIFE (3) maps handy and brings the best recent figures, having led and stuck on for 3rd over 1207m at Churchill Downs last start, beaten 0.5L, after another 3rd at Fair Grounds.

BRODEUR (5) can give a sight from on speed after leading and placing 2nd at Turfway over 1207m in March. R HEISMAN (6) also has claims off a narrow 2nd at Oaklawn over 1207m two runs ago.

Back in trip 302m after a 32-day break. Last start 9th of 14 at Churchill Downs over 1609m on 2 May, beaten 12L on FT, with 55.5kg after getting back, behind Vibe. Previous two runs at 1609m were 8th at Keeneland (beaten 6.7L) and 6th at Turfway (beaten 9.8L at $21). Draws barrier 4 for Michel Douaihy with Joseph C. Bealmear up and rises 0.5kg; needs to lift but can improve with a softer run.
