OVERSTATEMENT (8) improved sharply on his seventh two starts back at Turfway Park (Synthetic) with a win as favourite over 1609m at HORSESHOE INDIANAPOLIS (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. THE MINKSTER (4) returns from a spell of 11 weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when 12th over 2012m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Has ability and should be right in the finish. FRIAR NEWTON (3) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in sixth last start over 1710m at Turfway Park, an improvement on his eighth at Turfway Park the run before. Has the ability to find the winners' list. ELEVATED GAME (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on October 16, finishing seventh and beaten 29 lengths over 1710m at HORSESHOE INDIANAPOLIS (Dirt). One to consider.
