CAPITAL CONNECTION (7) went forward last start over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 3.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. HOLD MY BOURBON (9) could only manage fourth on debut then improved last start but found one better over 6f at Keeneland, beaten 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. SAHALAT (4) is fresh from a lay-off of nine months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Ellis Park (Dirt) over 6f. In a different yard now. Well-placed and is among the chances. SEND CASH (2) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of B H Cox. By Mendelssohn from Cash In. Worth watching for a betting push.
