VERACRUZIN (6) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Oaklawn Park, beaten 3 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. COACH CAMPBELL (10) is a three-start maiden who finished ninth at his most recent outing over 1m at this track (Dirt) after he gave away a big start. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. PHENOMENAL DREAM (7) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at Oaklawn Park, beaten 2 lengths after being prominent at the turn. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. FRIO RIVER (1) finished 14 lengths from the winner in ninth at his most recent outing over 6f at Keeneland (Dirt) after he was well back on straightening. Worth plenty of thought.
