AMERICAN PROMISE (1) has been thereabouts without winning, the latest finishing a 1.5 lengths fourth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) and drops in the weights for this. Rates strongly and gets chance to break through. PUBLISHER (5) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 3 lengths away in third over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. KNICKS GLORY (3) ran a better race last start at his second appearance, finishing fourth over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has upside and is worth including. SPEECHLESS (2) turned in another moderate effort last start when 10 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
