AVAILABILITY (9) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1m1/2f at Horseshoe Indianapolis after being in contention on the turn. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. AUDEN (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when fifth over 1m at Churchill Downs a month ago. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. THANKS FRANK (7) last appeared five-and-a-half weeks ago over 6½f at Churchill Downs when he finished seventh. This is his first run for the Matt A Shirer stable. One of the genuine hopes in the race. GUATAPE (3) finished 26 lengths from the winner in ninth at his most recent outing over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
