DR KRINGLE (3) ran below expectations last time at Churchill Downs (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths starting at 7/4. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. MERIT (1) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when fifth, beaten 14 lengths, over 7f at this track (Dirt). Finds a nice race and can find winning form. I'M YOUR MAN (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth. Finds a more suitable contest and can turn things around. EPIC BATTLE (2) was below his best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has his share of talent and can do a lot better.
