Group 3 winner FIVE STAR GENERAL (9) is racing well. Scored at Churchill Downs (Dirt) in a then finished third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1m1/4f in stakes class at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) at the latest appearance five weeks ago. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will give a great sight. CLOVISCONNECTION (2) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 2.25 lengths victory over 6f in stakes class at Pleasanton (Dirt) six weeks ago. Has a formidable combination with Antongeorgi Iii William who has been aboard for his last two wins. Bold showing expected. NEIMAN (1) continues to race well with a win in a at Listed level at this track (Dirt) before finishing 1.75 lengths away in third last time over 6½f in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Will be in this for a long way. Group 3 placegetter IL BELLATOR (6) turned in a sub-par run last time out over 1m1/4f in stakes class at Pleasanton (Dirt) after a nice win the start prior. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
