Couldn't have looked much better in his last start for team Givens. Steps up in class here
but looks ready.
Had a win at this level four starts back but hasn't done much since. I think this division is
easier than some of his recent groupings.
He's landed on the ticket in all three previous attempts here. Suffers first outside post
tonight.

Hard to deny the consistency this veteran has shown. Should get another live trip.
Back to the winner's circle on 10-13 though this week's matchup is more daunting. He's
been super all year here.
His only loss here was due to a mishap behind the gate. This looks like his toughest
matchup to date but still the one to beat.

Wide open affair as this one rebounded with a hard fought win here last week.
Parlayed a pocket trip to victory by a narrow margin over #7 last time, his present form is
as good as any.
Steady 4-year-old whose overcome posts like this recently to be a late threat.

Tough first over grind on 10-13, he's a talented sophomore that can have presence here.
Racing into form since returning off the layoff. Strong contender.
Gave his patented back half bull rush last week to get second. Just needs to be close
late.

Looked more like his old self on 10-6, draw works out well for him and if on his game,
he's as fast as any.
Speed player has had ample success at this level in the past and should be a player
here.
Tons of early foot in this tussle and he's often in the fray. Getting class relief here.

Love his consistency and continues to hold his own with top flight rivals.
Wasn't himself in his last try at RCR, prime chance to rebound tonight as he has the
most impressive record here of any in field.
Can't fault this one whose been no worse than 2nd in three recent tries here including
two wins.

Exits tougher and looks to capitalize on the relief, though is still a deep field.
Razor sharp riding two straight wins. I don't recall him starting at this level previously but
seems ready.
Not sure he's at his best right now but it's still difficult to ignore the body of work here.

Earned checks in both of her elims, this looks like a much softer spot.
She's the only one to finish in the top three her last three tries and is liable to offer value.
Rallied quite well last week and nearly sprung an upset. Post is the chief concern now.

2nd time lasix coming off a no excuse runner up performance. Remains a speed player.
Debuted for Tritton barn last time and looked a bit better, tries to move back up ladder.
15 wins this year is among the highest in the country. He needs a trip but is dangerous
even from here.

Dodged #6 and #8 in her divisions the past few weeks, will get a stiff test here, but is an
impressive filly that's 3-for-3.
She has been super early in her career but was no match for #8 last time.
Hard to go against this filly given her unblemished record and back to back track record
performances. Will need to avoid trouble from here.

Razor sharp for JH barn, had an easy win with comparable last time.

No match for #1 last week but draws closer tonight and has a terrific history here.

He's burned some cash here in the past but did rally well last week. May be in the pace
scenario now.
Stalk and hold ground, that may be ideal for him here.
Remains a steady option here and we expect his usual assertive nature.

Bet heavily last week despite the outside perch, I give him a live shot here.
Gets CC and seemed to reverse the regressive form spree last time.
Plenty of back class here and will offer a big price to consider underneath.

Improved bid last time and starts closer this week.
I'd argue his last division was tougher as he was a beaten chalk, can regroup now.
Has been close in 3 of 4 here and remains a contender to use underneath.
