Turfway Park Race 9 - Dust Commander S. Stakes
ENCINO (4) is building an excellent record with seven wins from 13 starts. Added to his reputation last time out when successful by 1.5 lengths over 1609m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. Leading contender. PRINCE OF POWER (8) finished seventh two runs back in Listed grade at this track (Synthetic) then improved last time out to score by half a length after being in the firing line on the turn over 1710m at this track (Synthetic). Likely to be there at the finish again. HONOR MARIE (1) is back after a break of ten weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1710m at Churchill Downs. Looks a strong top-three prospect. BABY MAX (9) progressed nicely last time out to score by 0.8 lengths over 1609m at this track (Synthetic). Finds a suitable race and can feature prominently.

Comes off a 36 day let-up. Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at this track on January 9 over 1609m, 0.1 len behind What Say Thee with 54.5kg at $4.03. The run before that 2nd of 11 at this track on December 18 over 1710m, 1.5 len behind Time For Trouble with 55kg at $4.52. Close-up last start but this looks a stretch.

Comes here off a 55-day let-up. Most recently ran on from midfield and won by a 0.1 len at this track December 21 over 1609m defeating Friar Newton carrying 56kg at $5.55. The race before that came from midfield; 3rd of 14 at Churchill Downs on November 15 over 1811m, 1.5 len behind Double Your Money carrying 55kg at $16.74. Others offer greater appeal.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up 4th of 11 at this track on December 4 over 2012m, 3 len behind Carcano carrying 55kg at $5.04. Last start won by a 0.1 len at this track January 15 over 2012m defeating Shankar with 55kg at $8.26. Might just find this lot a bit smart.
