GLOBAL SENSATION (3) is a distance specialist who was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 6f at Turfway Park, beaten 13 lengths into eighth. This is a nice drop in grade so he is perfectly placed to score. RAISING KANE (10) improved last time out, finishing 9 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1m at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. MARTINI BLU (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 6f at Oaklawn Park after being in contention on the bend. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. DERBY DATE (4) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 6f at Oaklawn Park. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
