KOSHER CAPONE (7) proved too strong two runs ago at Churchill Downs. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 7f at Churchill Downs, beaten 7 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. This doesn't look as hard so he will prove hard to beat. RHUM SAINT ESPRIT (6) was prominent at the bend and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 5½f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HOLDING THE LINE (5) finished fifth when when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Turfway Park (Synthetic) after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will push forward and is among the chances. KANTKNOWITALL (9) launched his career with a win then was less impressive last time out when third over 5½f at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
