LORD I WONDER (2) pushed forward and led throughout to score a 2 length win over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time. Can push forward again here and is right in this. EASY RED (8) returned from a lay-off last start with a strong win by one length over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement and she is a major player again. CANDY LOVER (6) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when sixth, beaten 15 lengths, over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Colby J Hernandez gets the best out of this four-year-old filly. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ALDORA (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race when fresh from a lay-off last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.3 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot.
