PAGE ONE (11) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on July 9 finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths over 7f at Ellis Park (Dirt). Capable of playing a major role. FORCED RANKING (4) switches to synthetic for the first time. Finished in the money two runs back and followed that with an unplaced effort, beaten 15 lengths, over 7f on dirt at Churchill Downs. Poses a serious threat. PINFIRE (13) was too good for a maiden field last start over 6f at this track (Synthetic), scoring by 1.75 lengths. J S Jr Rocco was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. This is tougher but he is capable of another big run. ZARTOWNIS (12) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at Churchill Downs, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to find some form.
