BOLD STRENGTH (7) impressed last time with a 2.75 lengths win at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over this journey. Has been in solid form this campaign with two wins to his name. Expected to be in the finish. CONTRARY THINKING (2) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1308m at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ELIMINATE (5) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2.5 lengths over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from five outings. Among the leading players again. RIDGEWOOD RUNNER (1) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 4 lengths over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
