PROTECTIVE (6) gave away a considerable start over 1m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time before hitting the line well to finish fourth. Look for another barnstorming finish. REAL FAST (1) really dug deep to salute by 0. 8 lengths three runs back at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Sure to be competitive. RACHMAN (4) scored at this track (Synthetic) last time out with 0. 3 lengths in reserve at the end of 1m. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Winning claims on best figures. YOUR MISSION (3) improved sharply last time out to score by 1. 75 lengths over 1m at this track (Synthetic) four weeks ago. Likely to be there at the finish again.
