STARCOURT (1) finished a 2.75 lengths fourth on dirt at Ellis Park in a. Switched to turf last time at Ellis Park over 5½f and again missed the frame, finishing a 8 length tenth. Best form stacks up nicely. Can improve sharply. INVENTING ANNA (5) is yet to break through in 13 runs. Finished fifth after being prominent at the corner at her last appearance over 5f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf) on August 21. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. VIBE CHECK (6) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then she got a long way back and was beaten 7 lengths when eighth in a 5½f contest at Ellis Park a month ago. This is a nice drop in grade so she is set to turn things around. HAND IT OVER (8) is a three-year-old filly who has filled a minor placing just once in six runs. Safely held when resuming last start over 1m at Ellis Park (Turf), finishing seventh and beaten 11 lengths. Has ability and shapes as a top-three chance.
