Dr kringle (9) is still a maiden after eight starts.Managed to find the placings at this track (dirt) two starts back before finishing 12th over 1m1/2f at keeneland (dirt) last time.Finds a nice race and this might be his day.Cafe racer (10) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at keeneland (dirt) over 1m1/2f, beaten 5 lengths.Fitter and capable of taking this out.Away from home (1) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1m1f at keeneland after being in contention on the corner.It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out.Empire's best (6) is a three-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 7½f at horseshoe indianapolis (turf).With blinkers added expect to see plenty of improvement.
