ASKARI (8) made late ground and finished 4 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs, an improvement on his sixth at Keeneland the run before. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. YELLOW BRICK (1) finds it hard to win with two victories from 22 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs. Won't find this as tough so he is perfectly placed to score. MISSION IMPROBABLE (9) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Churchill Downs (Turf) over 1m1/2f after being in the firing line all the way. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. BATTER UP (12) lines up on the back of a 6 length fourth over 1m at this track. Has a win and one placing at this journey from three starts. One of the key chances.
