SECURED LENDER (10) is racing well without winning. Last start finished fourth, beaten 10 lengths, over 1m1f at this track (Dirt). Yet to win at the distance but has recorded two minor placings. Leading chance. SPORTS HERO (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1m at Ellis Park, beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. SERGEANT CAPPS (3) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6½f at Ellis Park, beaten 1.75 lengths into fifth after being in contention on the bend. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. VOLT (7) is a six-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Aqueduct (Turf). Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
