Turfway Park Race 8 - Rushaway S. Stakes
TRENDSETTER (2) hasn't been far away lately including a last-start fourth over 1408m in Listed grade at Laurel (Dirt). The longer journey should suit so expecting him to be in the finish. TARTABULL (7) returned from a spell last start when third at Aqueduct over 1408m. Goes to a synthetic track for the first time. Winning rider X Perez stays aboard. Likely to feature. VALIANT (5) is back from a break of nine weeks. Scored back-to-back wins before running below his best at the last run of the prep, finishing fourth over 1609m in Listed grade at this track (Synthetic). Among the main hopes on his best figures. J J GREY (1) raced on the pace over 1673m at Fairgrounds (Dirt) last time and went on to win by 4 lengths. Solid claims. Something for the Multiples: RHYTHM LADY (6)

Second-up. First-up after four months scored a big 4 len win at Fairgrounds March 5 over 1673m defeating Different Gravy with 54kg at $4.50. Previously second-up 5th of 9 at Kentucky in LR on September 7 over 1609m, 9 len behind Street Beast with 53.5kg at $3.26. Should progress from that first-up run.

Resuming after a four months break. Not seen since he finished last of 7 at Churchill Downs November 21 over 1609m, 48 len behind Infiltrate with 55.5kg at $7.30. At his first start won by 0.3 len Colonial Downs Inner Turf August 29 over 1609m defeating Behold The King carrying 54kg at $10.70. Looks up against it.
