RIPASSARE (8) was less than a length from the winner in second at Kentucky (Turf) on debut before showing the benefit of that race experience when an impressive winner over 1m at Churchill Downs last start when resuming. Capable of repeating the dose. HAY STACK (2) safely held last start when beaten 8 lengths into eighth over 1m1f at Churchill Downs (Turf). Can atone. BEFRIENDED (4) is back at the races for the first time since May 3. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 1m at this track. One to consider. EAST SHORE (10) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when sixth over 1m at Churchill Downs, beaten 16 lengths. In contention this time.
