BANISHING (1) failed to run a strong 1m1f last start after a close second over 7f in the G1 Churchill Downs Stakes at this track (Dirt) the run prior. Freshened for this so should prove tough to beat. SAUDI CROWN (4) finished second when resuming two runs back in the G3 Oaklawn Mile Stakes at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) then progressed nicely last time out to score by 0.1 lengths as favourite over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Steps up a level but he is up to the task. CAGLIOSTRO (8) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Cherie Devaux yard. Hasn't raced since finishing fourth in the G3 Burj Nahaar at Meydan Dirt four months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but goes very well fresh from a lay-off, winning two times from five attempts. Among the leading chances. WILL TAKE IT (7) finished second two runs back at Keeneland (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by half a length over 1m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
