GREENER PASTURES (1) returns after a lay-off of four months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1m at Oaklawn Park. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Expect him to play a major role. CANDY FOR CARMEL (3) was prominent from the outset and fought on for second last start over 1m1f at Keeneland (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. ALL WEST (9) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m1f at Keeneland, beaten 7 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. KAHALA (2) ran well below his best last time over 1m1f at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths into fourth at 3/1. Can figure prominently.
