EMANCIPATION (4) scored his maiden win here last time out over this trip, getting the decision by 2. 25 lengths. Looks well placed and he looks certain to measure up again. FRENCH KNIGHT (2) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 9 lengths when sixth over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park two-and-a-half weeks ago. This doesn't look as hard so he is likely to play a big role. MEELO TIME (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at Oaklawn Park, beaten 24 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. BRIDGE CLASSIC (5) resumed over 5½f at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) last start when he sat close to the pace before fading in the straight to finish eighth, beaten 14 lengths. Should give a bold sight.
