    Race Analysis

    ASSOCIATED (3) has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing fifth, beaten 16 lengths, last time over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Should settle in the leading division. Looks well placed and is worth another chance. REGENERATION (5) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when third, beaten 15 lengths. Has plenty of upside so he should pay to follow. EPIC DESIRE (2) is a four-start maiden who was close to a win before a three-and-a-half months break, finishing off with a minor placing at Aqueduct (Turf). Expect he has come on over the break. Among the chances while fresh. MR HOOLIGAN (1) ran a better race last start, finishing 6 lengths away in fourth over 6f at this track. Well placed to turn things around.
