COUNTERSTRIKE (13) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track (Turf) over 5½f, beaten a nose. Commendable record at this trip with a win and five minor placings and looks a top chance. GLOBAL SENSATION (14) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 5 lengths over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention. B D VALESKI (2) turned in a decent effort last start when he made late ground to finish third over 5f at Churchill Downs. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. RUNNIN' ROCKET (8) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.75 lengths at this track and distance last start in a far better effort. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
