WICO (5) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 4 lengths back in third over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. WHERE YA AT VINCE (12) is a talented type yet to taste defeat after two runs this campaign, the latest over 6f at this track (Synthetic). Strongly fancied last time and looks tough to beat again. LUGAN KNIGHT (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when ninth over 1m at this track three weeks ago. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PURE PANIC (8) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 7f at Churchill Downs after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
