TAQDEER (1) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the corner. That followed a win at Churchill Downs at the previous outing. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MINUTE BY MINUTE (4) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when ninth over 1106m at Saratoga Turf five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the talent to take this out. MY TWO SOPHIA'S (7) resumes in a similar race to her last run nine weeks ago when third, beaten 5 lengths. Can make her presence felt. FOGGY NOTE (8) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1207m at Delaware Park (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 0.3 lengths. Will trim down second-up. In the right race and is one of the better hopes.
