EXCEL CALCULATOR (4) dropped out from the rails draw before closing late to finish fourth over 1811m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last start. Winning chance who will be winding up strongly. BESTFRIEND ROCKET (1) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1710m at Churchill Downs, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. SUGOI (9) was unplaced on turf over 2112m at Kentucky two back then again couldn't find the top-three on the same surface last time out, finishing sixth over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf. Major player back on the dirt. SINGLE DOT YAHT (3) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on May 7, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Among the better hopes.

At the latest run ran second last of 8 at Prairie Meadows on September 25 over 1207m, on a wet track; 11 len behind Brahms Image with 55kg at $20.70. Before that ran last in a small field at Prairie Meadows on September 11 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Red Romance carrying 55kg at $5.70. Hard to imagine a top-three finish.
