SMOKEN WICKED (6) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 8 lengths after being prominent at the bend over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has the ability to take care of this field. HAY JUDE (2) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten from two runs, the latest success coming over 6f in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Rates highly and hard to knock the winning form. VOILA MAGIC (4) was thereabouts last time out when second in stakes class at this track (Dirt) over 6f, beaten 0.8 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Big chance to score. LOUISIANA JESS (3) showed good speed and fought on for third over 6f in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) last time. Can sneak into the finish again.
