However, the last time out was on turf, when it broke its maiden with a superb closing effort in an MSW31800. War Surge has hit the board in two of his three races and shows great potential if he can learn from his previous race four weeks ago, which was run at 7 furlongs. Jock O Cheeseman has had a solid career, but has had a down year, coming in the money only 18% of the time and winning at a 3.2% rate. Look for War Surge to slide to mid-pack and try to make a move towards the end.<\/P> PP2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Point Down(KY)<\/FONT><\/A><\/B>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>zibby\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>S Moskowitz\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>13\/1<\/P> Down the Aisle-Forgetful Becky, by Bon Point (GB)<\/P> Deelynet Stables sends this light grey colt out to represent its cause as well as that of the Minnesota Downs residency. Bred out of a moderately successful bargain sire, Point Down may be the long shot, but one look at his last race shows that he has some good stuff. Stalking the lead and taking control at the half mile mark, Point Down ran a speed of 81 on his way to a win in only his second race out \u2014 run six furlongs on turf. While it was not the highest level MSW, he did defeat Golden Lure, who has a stakes ITM finish. The main concern may be whether he can make the transition to the longer distance. He may show a preference to run at the lead or just off it, and may find himself tiring at a distance longer than anything he has run before. That stamina mystery is what makes him the long shot for me, but might not be a bad shot-in-the-dark pick. With a lot of closers in the field, he may be able to set a pace that he is comfortable with.<\/P> PP3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Disrepute(KY)<\/FONT><\/A><\/B>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>pjlstables\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>B Coates\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>5\/2<\/P> Dixieland Band-Northern Resort, by Fusaichi Pegasus<\/P> This brown colt will look to bring stakes glory to Pedro\u2019s Racing Empire and the EAAA Racing residency this weekend. The most experienced colt in the field, Disrepute wasted no time kicking his career into high gear. Skipping the maiden phase and jumping right into an A22000NW3t, the horse ran a 72 speed for the win in his first ever race. Disrepute picked up another win his last time out, a 5.5 furlong on turf stakes four weeks ago. He has hit the board in three out of his four races, with his only miss coming in a Gr. II juvenile stakes, making him the only horse in the field with graded experience. It\u2019s hard to bet against Disrepute with his history of strong runs against very good competition. It won\u2019t hurt to have the track\u2019s best jockey aboard. Look for the two-year-old to settle mid-pack before starting to make his move at the half-mile mark.<\/P> PP4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Diktionary(JPN)<\/FONT><\/A><\/B>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>cmd3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>M Arnold\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>6\/1<\/P> Diktat(GB)-Porky Pine, by This CMD Stables (Comedy Central residency) brown colt has only one race under its belt, and therefore is hard to judge. Diktionary used a small burst of speed to slide from mid-pack in his last race to show third in the FAST CAT Memorial Stakes a month ago. The two horses that finished in front of him \u2014 Editor\u2019s Finest and Sunlight on Chrome \u2014 have found success in their careers and should be considered strong competition. Having only gone 5.5 furlongs, though, it is yet to be seen if Diktionary is ready for a miler. His sire, Diktat, has had inconsistent success producing winners in the sim, but should provide some distance bloodlines to allow this runner to go longer. This race will test whether Diktionary is ready to mature into longer distances already.<\/P>
