BUSK (1) had been in sparkling form winning seven races on end before most recently finished third over 6f at Churchill Downs. Hard to fault and can find winning form again. TURN UP THE TREES (6) really dug deep to score by 0. 8 lengths three runs back at Ellis Park (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Good record at this journey with two wins and four minor placings from seven starts and is sure to play a big role. SHAPE NOTE (5) is in top form, most recently recording a win by a nose over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) to make it two on the bounce. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the main contenders. LUDWIG (2) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten a nose. Ready to go one better.
