Group 1 winner O'CONNOR (6) is rarely out of the money and has 11 wins to his name including last start in the G2 Fayette Stakes at Keeneland (Dirt). Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and is among the leading chances. GASOLINE (9) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when fifth over 1m1f in the G2 Clark Handicap at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Will play a major role. GRAND ASPEN (3) was a most impressive winner last time over 1m1f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), scoring by 3.5 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. One to consider. Group 2 placegetter BLUE DEVIL (4) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1m1f in the G2 Clark Handicap at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Among the chances.
