BRILLIANT COLORS (3) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1408m at Legacy Downs, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Won't find this as tough so he is one of the main contenders. ELIOT NESS (5) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Legacy Downs. Less impressive last time out when fourth over 1106m at Prairie Meadows, beaten 4.5 lengths. Jose A Medina gets the best out of this eight-year-old gelding. Ideally placed and is sure to bounce back to form. COWORKER (1) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1106m at Legacy Downs (Dirt). Faces an easier assignment so he is a key runner. LIBERTARIAN (4) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths away in third over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and will be thereabouts again.
