KING CURLIN (5) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Churchill Downs but raced below expectations last time over 1m1f at Churchill Downs (Turf), finishing 11th and beaten 18 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. C C'S KINGDOM (2) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when sixth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1m1f at Woodbine. Julio A Hernandez gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. BOOKITWITHHADDAD (6) finished sixth two runs back at Laurel (Turf) then improved last time out to score by 0. 8 lengths after being prominent at the turn over 1m1/2f at Laurel (Turf). Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. KARLWITHANARL (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 4. 5 lengths into fourth. No surprise to see him in the frame.
