GILDED CRAKEN (8) stuck on well last start to finish third over 1m4f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. MOONLIGHT (7) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1m at Churchill Downs, beaten 6 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can salute. WILL TAKE IT (2) is a talented entire who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 6 lengths behind Lagynos over 1m1/2f in the G3 Commonwealth Turf Stakes at Churchill Downs (Turf). Among the chances on his best figures. CITY OF LOVE (1) returned from a lay-off last start with a strong win by 2.25 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). Fitter for that last hitout and appeals as a solid top-three hope.
