GAME KEEPER (9) last appeared eight weeks ago over 1m at Churchill Downs when he finished eighth. This is his first run for the David Jacobson stable. Best figures put him right in this. NOFURTHERQUESTIONS (10) finished 2.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at Remington Park four weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Expected to cross from wide out. Likely to feature. RIVETAGE (5) returned from a lay-off three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 12 lengths into seventh over 1m at this track. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. COPPER ECHO (11) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Churchill Downs, beaten 33 lengths into 12th. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
