Not that it makes any of them a certainty, but McPeek (V V’s Dream, Shimmering Allure) and Cox (Alpine Princess, Emery) have won 4 of the last 6 runnings of this. (And Mark Casse the other 2). There also hasn’t been much of a pricey winner in the last 6 years with Motion’s Dancing Rags ($26.60) jumping up over Daddy’s Lil Darling (9-2) and Diadura (7-2)..

Yikes. Tough nightcap. 9/7 KY Downs ALW key for this with Beuys (7-2), Chasing the Crown (9-2) and Underdressed (12-1) the exiting triple. Script (15-1), who won here a year ago, a player off the break. Golden Alchemist (5-2) the one to beat. Point Me By (10-1) looks competitive. Drakon (8-1) a big danger if drawing in..

Best Value: #2 Underdressed 12-1 7th
Next Best: #9 Chasing the Crown Gate SCR
Exotics Use: #13 Drakon 8-1 9th
Super Add: #4 Script 15-1 4th
