ROYAL GUARD (10) got off the mark over 2414m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) last start, scoring by 5 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Can go right on with the job now. TELESCOPIC (2) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1811m at Churchill Downs Turf, beaten only 1.3 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Won't find this as tough so he is perfectly placed to score. MY BOY TONY (6) fought on well for third last start over 1811m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf), making it three minor placings in a row. Expected to run well again. LAZLO (9) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 2213m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 16 lengths. Has the class to find the winners' list.
