UNCLE WITH MONEY (2) Gave plenty of cheek when 3rd last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis and promising career start. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Drawn nicely. Respect. PIRATE SHIP (7) Ran on when 2nd beaten by more than 8L last time at Saratoga and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Showing good ability since returning from a break. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. MITOLE JOE (8) 2yo by Mitole having first race appearance for Matt Williams. Watch the betting. TOUCH MONEY (1) Close up last start at Evangeline Downs and was a debutant last start. Has minimal work to do from the draw. Up to these.

Started at $28.00 and came in 8th last start at Saratoga but fitter for debut run. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Won't find this easy.

Was $5.50 and didn't threaten when 7th last start at Colonial Downs but having second career run. Much prefer the look of others in this race.

Was competitive when 2nd last time at Ellis Park and having second career run. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Good chance and definitely has claims.
