On a short back up. Was $53.00 and ran 8th last start around here but going over extra ground. Have to look elsewhere.

Was $18.00 and only fair when 8th last run at Churchill Downs but was on debut last time. Might be ridden for luck. Racing over a longer distance. Very unlikely to cause an upset.

Brad H Cox 2yo by Tapit on debut. Great to see Luan Machado taking the ride. Betting is the best guide.

Odds of $14.00 and folded up in the straight when 5th last start at Churchill Downs but going up in distance. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Slim chance.

Started $12.00 and below expectations when 5th last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis but was a debutant last start. Stepping up in distance. Not ready for this level.
