CATCHING FREEDOM (5) is closing in on a win after two consecutive placings, the latest a third over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). This looks a nice assignment. GUN PARTY (2) is back from a break of nine weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when ninth over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Goes well over this trip, filling a placing at all four starts, including a win and should be hard to stop. OTELLO (3) last appeared when he finished seventh over 1609m at Timonium (Dirt) on August 24. Now under the care of new trainer Rob Atras. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. PRESIDENTIAL (4) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1673m in Listed grade at Remington Park (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths at $21. Minor claims.
