CONTRABAND EARLY (3) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. MONOLITH (9) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1m1/4f at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) when third, beaten 10 lengths. Fitter and expected to be prominent. MOONOVERMONTGOMERY (2) finished 8 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 7½f at Churchill Downs, an improvement on his sixth at Churchill Downs the run before. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. KEE JEE (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
