BIG MIKE FINK (12) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1609m at Kentucky, beaten 20 lengths into 11th. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. HONOR AND COURAGE (3) was thereabouts last time out when second at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1609m, beaten a nose. Cherry-ripe now. Drawn ideally and is a winning hope. WINDSOCK (2) was well fancied last start over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) when third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Nice alley and can make amends.

Last start 3rd in a small field at Churchill Downs on September 16 over 1609m, 4.5 len behind Ritzy Rags carrying 54kg at $11.02. The race before that ran second last of 12 at Kentucky on August 29 over 1609m, 18 len behind Jas with 54kg at $137.49. Looks tested despite the low draw.

Last start 2nd in a small field at Churchill Downs on September 16 over 1609m, nose behind Ritzy Rags with 54kg at $13.79. The race before that ran second last of 11 at Ellis Park on August 21 over 1207m, 19 len behind Full Access carrying 54kg at $90.98. Nice effort last time so worth following up.

Lining up for just third start. At big odds at debut, got back early 8th of 10 at Ellis Park on August 2 over 1106m, 15 len behind Never Sleep with 54kg at $28.19. Last start ran last of 8 at Churchill Downs on September 11 over 1207m, 17 len behind Don't Kick Me with 54kg at $6.03. Likely to struggle.

Was well in the market at debut, 3rd of 8 at Ellis Park on August 15 over 1207m, 6 len behind Mr Fete with 54kg at $4.57. Encouraging signs on debut and another big run is likely.
