ONE TIMER (7) did well when resuming over 6f at Listed level at Turfway Park (Synthetic) last start, finishing third and beaten 5 lengths. Lay-off from four tries and should be better for that when resuming run. Should feature in the finish. BEAR RIVER (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 5½f at Churchill Downs, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. MINNESOTA READY (6) is overdue for a win. Excellent effort last start to finish third in stakes company over 6f at this track. Yet to break through at this journey but has placed at all four tries and is expected to be competitive. MISCHIEVOUS ROGUE (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 5f at Churchill Downs. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
