DISCOTHEQUE (3) is a 16-start maiden who has been in the money nine times, Could only manage fourth last time out over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has a solid record here with two top-three finishes to his name. Won't get too many better chances to break through. THE STANDARD (6) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 5 lengths when fourth over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Chance to break his maiden status with that run under his belt. REGENERATION (2) resumes from a spell of six months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1646m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). One of the leading chances. SIR DUKE (1) has not appeared since he finished third on debut over 1308m at Aqueduct on March 29. Everything points to a big run.
