ROUSSETTE (8) was safely held when seventh last time out over 1m1/2f at Keeneland, beaten 5 lengths. That followed a win at Turfway Park at the previous outing. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. CAROLO RAPIDO (6) is having his first run since winning by 0.1 lengths four weeks ago over 1m1/2f at this track. Has transferred to the Eddie Kenneally stable over the break. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. METATRON'S MUSE (2) returned from a lay-off last start with a strong win by 6 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). Fitter for that last hitout and this looks well within his grasp. FIRST STRIKE (4) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over the same trip after he had settled well back. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating.
