GAMBLERS TAIL (9) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths starting at 17/2. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. QUARRYMEN (4) was prominent at the bend and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 6f at Keeneland after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. RIVER RIDGE (3) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Less impressive last time out when third over 6f at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. AIR CAV (7) was below his best last time when sixth over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
