GILMORE (7) was never in contention when 28 lengths from the winner in 12th over 6f at Churchill Downs last start, a less impressive effort than his seventh at Ellis Park the run before. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. RIGHT TONE (2) resumed over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last start where he drifted back early and didn’t threaten, finishing sixth. Second up record is sound. Ready to find peak form this time. EMBER (5) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1m at Canterbury Park, beaten 13 lengths. That followed a win at Canterbury Park at the previous outing. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. BURNING LEAVES (13) made progress last start to finish second over 1m at Canterbury Park. No surprise to see him in contention.
