Fairmount Park Race 7

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: $74,312

BUSK (9) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last start to make it five straight. Has good early speed and will take catching again. WE MISS ARLINGTON (7) scored by a nose last start at Hawthorne (Dirt) over this distance after he was in contention on the bend. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring five times from 10 starts. Has a high cruising speed. Best figures should see him run well. SPYCRAFT (4) was in contention on the bend and finished third last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to make a big impact. PHILIPSBURG (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fourth in a 1207m contest at Hawthorne three weeks ago after being prominent at the bend. Is yet to be beaten in three starts at this course and distance. Javier Diego gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to turn the recent form around. Something for the Multiples: MEGAN'S HONOR (3)
