Dk Horse Nashville Derby Invitational S. Stakes

Prize Money: $5,426,357

TEST SCORE (2) is racing well. Scored in the G1 Belmont Derby Invitational at Saratoga (Turf) two back then finished third, beaten 0.6 lengths, over 1911m in the G1 Saratoga Derby Invitational (Turf) at the latest appearance four weeks ago. Manuel Franco who has three wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. WIMBLEDON HAWKEYE (12) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 2414m in the G3 Gordon Stakes at Goodwood last time out. Should camp just off the leaders. Expecting a bold showing. SANDMAN (8) was always well back last start at the first run of this campaign and never threatened, finishing fifth over 1811m in the G2 Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt). Blinkers come off second up. Fitter and sure to be competitive. BURNHAM SQUARE (5) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing fifth last start over 1811m in the G1 Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park (Dirt) six weeks ago. Among the chances.
