CATCHING FREEDOM (5) resumes after a break of eight months. Hoping for a repeat of his debut win over 1m at Churchill Downs to kick off last prep. Key runner while fresh. HALL OF FAME (4) scored by 6 lengths over this distance at this track (Dirt) last time out. Has a very good record here including two wins from four starts. Bold showing expected. KOMOREBINO OMOIDE (8) did a good job last start to finish second in the G3 Louisiana Stakes at this track (Dirt) over 1m1/2f, beaten 1.5 lengths. Winning rider J Melancon sticks. Expected to measure up. TUSCAN SKY (3) filled a minor placing when fresh from a lay-off two starts ago. Could not back that up last time when 11 lengths away in seventh over 1m1/2f in the G3 Harlan's Holiday Stakes at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Open to improvement so he can make amends.
