HOT MASH (8) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 21 lengths away in tenth over 1m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) on June 4. Has won when fresh from a lay-off in the past. Can make a winning return. JUDICIOUS (1) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 0. 8 lengths when resuming last time out over 5½f at Ellis Park (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TWIRLING CLAIRE (7) was in the firing line on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 5½f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. LADY SYBIL (3) got off the mark over 5f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last start, scoring by 1. 3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Brian Joseph Hernandez Jr was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Harder here but should be involved in the finish.
