    Race Analysis

    LAUGHNOWCRYLATER (3) progressed nicely last time out when he made late ground to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1m at Churchill Downs. Likely improver with strong prospects. OVERSTATEMENT (5) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing third over 1m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) most recently. Looks a solid top-three prospect. BETTERA (7) returned from a lay-off last start with a strong win by half a length over 1m1/2f at Hawthorne (Turf). Open to plenty of improvement and this looks well within his grasp. BATTER UP (4) was sent out at 25/1 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has a strong association with Edgar Morales who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Not to be discounted.
