Kentucky Downs Race 7 - Ags Kentucky Turf Cup Invitational S. Stakes
BURNHAM SQUARE (7) is a last start winner over 2012m in the G1 Arlington Million at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf), making it four victories from five appearances this campaign. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will prove tough to beat. ETHICAL DIAMOND (6) scored by a nose last start in the G3 Ballyroan Stakes at Leopardstown over this distance. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring three times from six starts. Goes up a notch this time but he is likely to feature. TIFFANY (1) was in the placings at her first two runs this preparation before breaking through over 2400m in the G1 Grosser Preis Von Berlin at Hoppegarten last time. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will be in this for a long way. OLE CRAZY BONE (8) finished 4 lengths back in sixth over 2414m in the G1 Christophe Clement Turf (Sword Dancer) Stakes at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Should park just off the speed. One of the better hopes.

Racing well recently. At the latest run favourite; won by a neck in the G1 Grosser Preis Von Berlin at Hoppegarten on August 9 over 2400m defeating Bright Light carrying 58.5kg at $2.70. The start before that led but faded 2nd of 9 in the G2 Lancashire Oaks at Newmarket (July) on July 4 over 2414m, 4.5 len behind Tattycoram carrying 60.5kg at $2.30. Racing well and can win again.

Returns from a 56-day let-up. Most recently 4th in a small field in the G2 Bowling Green Stakes at Saratoga Inner Turf on July 11 over 2213m, 4.5 len behind Ole Crazy Bone carrying 56kg at $17.11. The start before that 4th of 9 at Listed level at Delaware Park Turf at Delaware Park Turf on June 13 over 2414m, 4 len behind Just A Touch with 55.5kg at $4.80. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.
