WALSTIB (5) went forward last start over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 3 lengths. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. PUBLICITY (8) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DEMETRIUS (10) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1m at Churchill Downs (Turf). Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. FAYETTE SPIRIT (13) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but weakened to finish fifth over 1m at Churchill Downs (Turf). No surprise if he figured in the finish.
