I'M WIDE AWAKE (2) was a most impressive winner last time over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), scoring by 5 lengths. Should park just off the speed. Best form puts him right in this. RED LABEL (4) has been kept fresh since an all-the-way win over 5f at this track (Dirt). Should be prominent again and rates a leading contender. SHACKLEFORD STRONG (1) was disappointing over 6½f at this track (Dirt) last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run prior. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. PHILIPSBURG (5) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 0.1 lengths last time over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has been in solid form this campaign with three wins to his name. One of the fringe hopes.
