WASHINGTON'S UNION (8) has switched yards since finishing ninth five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1m at Ellis Park. Makes plenty of appeal in the new surrounds. BILL OF RIGHTS (2) has hit the frame at both runs this time in, both on dirt, resuming with a minor at this track then finishing runner-up at this track over 6f seven weeks ago. Hard to beat in this sort of form. DR HYDE (11) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 2.25 lengths when sixth in a 1m contest at Colonial Downs three-and-a-half weeks ago after being in contention on the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. AWESOME STRIKE (15) is close to breaking through with five placings from six appearances this campaign, last time out finishing second over 1m1f at this track (Turf). Another top-three finish is on the cards.
