UNCLE WILLIAM (3) returned from a break and was on dirt for the first time last start when one length back in second over 6f at Churchill Downs. Will come on from that last run and will prove tough to beat. LINEBACKER (5) was well held in the Southwest Stakes won by Mystik Dan over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park at his last appearance six months ago. Can play a big role in this company. TOUCHDOWN ROCKET (1) is appearing for the first time. By Arrogate and hails from the B H Cox stable. Expect a bold run. SECURED LENDER (4) is a three-year-old gelding on debut by Omaha Beach from Satisfaction who has in turn produced the winner of a black type. A product of the strong juvenile stable of Chad C Brown. Promising type who cannot be left out of calculations.
