Race Analysis
VERY CONNECTED (7) finished fourth last time out over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Has a win and one placing at this journey from three starts. Profiles nicely. MESQUITE (1) broke through for his maiden win over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he looks sure to be in the mix. CROWN THE BUCKEYE (5) is a speedy colt who was a winner when resuming in stakes class at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) eight weeks ago. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be competitive. LIBERTY NATIONAL (3) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 1m1/2f contest at Churchill Downs last time out by 4 lengths. One of the main contenders.
