GENERAL ISSUE (9) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when fifth over 6f at Churchill Downs nine days ago. This doesn't look as hard so he is set to turn things around. PAYNTER CITY (7) is a five-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs, most recently when 2.5 lengths away in second over 6f at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. BAJAN BOY (5) finished fifth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 6½f at Charles Town, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to take this out. BIG BANK (3) debuted with a third, beaten 13 lengths, over 5½f at this track at his only appearance to date. Senior rider goes aboard. Capable of playing a big role.
