Comment: First-time blinkers didn't work when tenth of 12 at Churchill Downs two months ago (dropped to this distance) in an allowance optional claimer; largely disappointing since successful in a starter allowance at Churchill Downs in October; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as this could be a hot race.

Comment: Far from disgraced (beaten just under 4l) in an allowance optional claimer (muddy track) last month; proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a ninth win); others more likely as now looks to be past his prime.

Extraordinary One (GB)

Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 6-45785

15/2

Comment: Yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at nine; not beaten that far in fifth (4l) in a maiden special weight when dropped down to this distance two weeks ago; first run in claiming company; now drops in class but unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Comment: Held when sixth beaten 12l in a maiden claimer four weeks ago; claiming value now drops to $50k; needs new headgear to provoke some improvement; hard enough to fancy.

Comment: Finished behind Extraordinary One with blinkers tried when dropped back to this distance in a maiden special weight two weeks ago; claiming debut; others appeal more despite dropping in class.

Comment: First time on the track for this son of Astern; this doesn't look easy against experienced rivals so best watched unless the market says otherwise.

The Commish

Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 4-37

Comment: Came home seventh, beaten 10l, last month in a maiden special weight; is respected as rude health of trainer is a big plus and he finished third two runs ago.

Age/Wt: 4/8-12

Comment: First start in public for this four-year-old son of Lost Treasure; stable doesn't have the finest record with newcomers so requires market confidence to make him of interest.
