PILKINGTON (11) is a seven-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent appearance over 1m1/2f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf). Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. SPINNING HEART (7) returned last time with a solid third at this track (Turf) over 1m1/2f after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. MCQUEEN (9) is returning from a lay-off of six months. Finished eighth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 7f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Manny Perez. Comes here with definite top-three claims. TOWERING STORM (5) is a nicely bred four-year-old gelding lining up for the first time. By Oscar Performance from Rally Catcher who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Promising type who can make a positive start to his career.
