ONASA (4) was well fancied when resuming last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 9 lengths. Jareth Loveberry stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Expecting a bold showing. PADDY'S HOUSE (7) made progress last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 5f at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. ONCOMING TRAIN (8) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths after being prominent at the turn. The engagement of Mitchell Murrill is noteworthy. Finds an easier assignment and can take the next step and salute. JULIA'S WARRIOR (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 6f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Well placed and can make amends.
