Churchill Downs Race 10 - Iroquois S. Stakes
SALAHUDIN (7) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten from two runs, the latest success coming over 1408m at Listed level at Ellis Park (Dirt). Comfortable winner last time and can measure up again. CARIBBEAN LIFE (1) impressed when successful on debut over 1408m at Ellis Park (Dirt) five weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. ADMIRAL'S ORDER (4) lines up on the back of a 4.5 lengths fifth over 1308m at Kentucky. Credentials hard to knock. HE IS NO LIE (8) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1207m at Del Mar, finishing 13 lengths from the winner. Key contender.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently eased back early on ran second last in a small field in the G3 Best Pal Stakes at Del Mar on August 8 over 1207m, 13 len behind Hughes with 54.5kg at $3.30. Before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 8 in stakes class at this track at this track on June 28 over 1207m, nose behind Blessed Flyer with 54.5kg at $5.57. Capable of more – worth another chance.
