Group 3 placegetter COOKE CREEK (6) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Winning rider Jose Ortiz retains the mount. Likely to be in the finish again. CLASSIC CATCH (2) started at 11/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 13 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1m1f. Nicely placed to turn things around. DONEGAL FOREVER (4) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 0.8 lengths after being prominent at the turn over 1m1f at Aqueduct (Dirt). Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. POWER SEEKER (3) turned in a fine effort to win by 6 lengths at this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Finds another suitable race and can maintain winning form.
