SANDMAN (1) finished ninth over 2112m in the G3 Dueling Grounds Derby at Kentucky (Turf) at his most recent appearance on August 30. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in four starts, including two wins and two placings. Has found the right race. SIR GREYLIND (9) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1710m at Fairgrounds. Has a decent record at this venue with a win and three minor placings from four starts. Well placed and should be tough to beat. CATCHING FREEDOM (3) was well fancied on the back of a couple of minor placings but could only manage ninth last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Worth noting Francisco Arrieta is the change of rider. Rates highly on best form so worth another chance. WINNEMAC AVENUE (4) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1710m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.75 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
