COMMENTS: BANGO has won three in a row and six of nine at Churchill. MIGHT MISCHIEF has three wins and three seconds in six races. JUST MIGHT ran the best, last race speed number and the resume says he will be better in the third start off the bench. DENNIS MOMENT has the back class and ran one of his best in a while last out, maybe a return to form here?
