Churchill Downs Race 10 - Hanshin S. Presented By Jra Stakes
IMAGINATION (4) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1308m in the G3 True North Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt). Has never missed the frame when third-up and looks set to find best form. NEOEQUOS (2) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over today's journey in the G3 Steve Sexton Mile Stakes at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. DRAGOON GUARD (5) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1609m at Listed level at this track (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Has good early pace. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. TOUR PLAYER (10) scored last start at Listed level at this track (Dirt) to make it three wins from four starts this campaign. Takes on tougher opposition this time but is among the better hopes.
