PROUDLY HAILED (9) is a seven-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. DANNER (10) has been in the money three times including last start on September 28 when third over 5½f at this track (Turf). Has been in the frame at both appearances at this circuit. Ideally placed to open his account. STANZA (2) finished second, beaten 0. 8 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track (Turf). Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. KATMANDU (8) was in the money on debut before finishing fourth last time, beaten 1. 3 lengths over 5½f at this track (Turf). Has upside and looks a solid chance.
