Kentucky Downs Race 7 - Mountain Dew Bowling Green Gold Cup Invitational S. Stakes
LIMITED LIABILITY (4) finished 4 lengths away in sixth last time out over 2213m at Monmouth Park when first up from a spell. Steps up in journey today. Winning rider Lanfranco Dettori sticks. Well placed and should be in the finish. FLATTEN THE CURVE (7) was a dominant winner last time over 3200m in stakes class at Hamburg, getting home by 2.25 lengths. Has been in great form with three wins from four outings this preparation. Expected to be in the finish. GOLDENEYE (1) was an emphatic winner last time over 1911m at Saratoga (Turf) with today's rider Jose Ortiz engaged. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will give backers a great sight. TAWNY PORT (3) did a little better last start at the second run of the campaign, finishing fifth over 2213m in the G2 United Nations Stakes at Monmouth Park (Turf). Will find this much easier. Must be respected.
