ALTERNATE REALITY (8) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish sixth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1811m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Watch for him to be charging home again. GEWURZTRAMINER (11) continues to race well with a win two back at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf) before finishing one length away in second last time over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Turf). Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. DR STORM (1) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1811m at Churchill Downs after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. EMPIRE BUILDER (12) is having his first run since September 19. Has a very good fresh record, scoring four times including one over 1673m at Hawthorne at the start of last prep. Top-three claims.
