ASLEEP AT EIGHT (1) finished 4 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 6½f at this track, an improvement on his tenth at Kentucky the run before. Nicely placed to take this out. CROOKED BULLET (2) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at Keeneland, beaten 8 lengths into fifth after being in contention on the turn. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. JUJUBEE (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at this track, beaten 16 lengths into sixth after being in the firing line on the corner. Nicely placed to get the prize. MACKADOO (8) was well in the market on debut last time out and ran well but found a couple better over 5½f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Improver worth including.
