Stake: $52,451

GOD OF WINE (8) started at $3.09 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 4.5 lengths at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1710m. Finds a suitable assignment and can make amends. SAINT IN THE CITY (7) scored on turf over 1509m at Gulfstream Park two starts ago then couldn't find the top-three on dirt over 1207m at Churchill Downs more recently. Making progress. Sure to be in the thick of things again. GAMETIME GLADIATOR (10) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 14 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1710m at Churchill Downs, beaten 3 lengths. Has the talent to feature in the finish. RIGEL (6) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1673m at Belterra Park (Dirt), beaten 13 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role.

Most recently won by a 0.3 len at Churchill Downs June 23 over 1408m defeating Jon's Street Band carrying 53.5kg at $9.56. The start before that 3rd in a small field at Churchill Downs on June 13 over 1207m, 0.8 len behind Golden Buck with 53.5kg at $7.56. Can't recommend.
