HEDGE (1) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fifth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 5f, beaten 4.5 lengths. Worth following up with that first run out of the way. REB (3) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at Churchill Downs, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. Has the talent to figure prominently. GALLO DE FUEGO (4) failed to threaten at his first outing last time out, finishing fifth over 6f at this track (Dirt). Should appreciate the extra ground this time. Fitter and with the blinkers added is sure to be competitive. ABBI FEDE (6) is on debut. By Enticed and hails from the John Ennis stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
