STRANGER'S CHURCH (10) Fresh after a spell. Shot clear to win by a margin of 3 1/2L last run at Hawthorne and going up in trip. Coming to a new trainer. Respect against this field. FLYING MOHAWK (2) Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 5 1/2L last start at Churchill Downs and has a good draw. Respect in this event. STATES' RIGHTS (5) Improved late to finish 4th last run at the track. Should get going late. Underrated. CURAHEE (1) Ran home into 2nd last run at this track and has the ideal gate. Stable is in form and solid career start. Don't dismiss. Something for the Multiples: EXECUTOR (4)
