Multiple Group 3 winner HIT SHOW (6) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by half a length over 1m1/2f in Group 3 class at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three starts. Leading player again. Multiple Group 1 placegetter DISARM (5) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 6 lengths, over 1m2f in the G1 Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt). Blinkers have been removed. Should be in the finish. Group 1 winner RATTLE N ROLL (2) resumes in a similar race to his last run a year ago when fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. Group 3 placegetter COOKE CREEK (4) scored last start at Saratoga (Dirt) to make it three wins from three starts this campaign. Will find this much tougher but is not to be discounted.
