GLOBAL SENSATION (6) was safely held when fourth last time out over 6½f at this track, beaten 13 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has the talent to take care of this field. ILLINI (4) did little and finished 17 lengths from the winner in fifth over 6f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Faces an easier assignment so he is likely to play a big role. FIFTY CENT DOLLARS (7) finished sixth two runs back at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 1. 5 lengths after being in contention on the corner over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to cope. CATAMOUNT (1) improved sharply last time out to score by 6 lengths over 5½f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
