NOBALS (7) is racing well. Scored at Churchill Downs (Turf) in a then finished second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 6f in stakes class at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic) at the latest appearance a month ago. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. ARZAK (10) faded last time to finish sixth over 1m in the G3 Kelso Handicap at Saratoga (Turf) after showing good early speed. Takes on much easier opposition this time. Top chance in this field. JOE SHIESTY (3) raced on the pace over 5f in Listed grade at Churchill Downs (Turf) last time and went on to win by 0.3 lengths. Luan Machado who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Expected to measure up. COPPOLA (1) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 2 lengths last time over 5f in Listed grade at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf). Has the speed to be prominent from an ideal gate. Solid claims.
