    Race Analysis

    HIGH STRIKE (1) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by a nose last start over 6½f at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Good record at this journey with four wins and two minor placings from seven starts and is sure to play a big role. ATKINS (5) was below his best last time when sixth over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. TRIGGER POINT (8) fought on well for third last start over 6f at this track (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Has a good association with L A Batista with a run of three top-three results. Sure to be competitive. TIME THE AVENGER (4) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Alexander Chavez who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Among the top-three hopes.
