ELKO COUNTY (14) finished second last time out over 1m1 1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), making it six career minor placings. Has a good record at this distance with two top-three results from three starts. Should camp just off the leaders. Among the leading chances. OSCARGOT (2) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid third over 1m1f at Churchill Downs (Turf), beaten 1.3 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. AMBITION (9) peaked on his run when resuming last start over 1m1f at Churchill Downs (Turf), winding up in fourth. Steps up in journey this time. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give backers a great sight. FREEDOM MAKER (5) finished 8 lengths adrift in 11th last time over 1m1f at Churchill Downs (Turf) in a disappointing performance. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
