SAMARITA (4) was in the firing line on the bend and finished 0.9 lengths away from the winner in third last start at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 6½f Has a very good record over this journey with three wins from six starts. Strong record with O Mojica in the irons, including a win. Bold showing expected. TRIPLE SCOUT (1) is a 15-time winner who has been performing well, scoring by 0.3 lengths last time out over 5f at this track. Rates highly and should be in the mix. LILY'S WOOFY (2) clocked-in second behind Triple Scout last time out at this track (Dirt) over 5f. Has a very good record here including six wins from 12 starts. One of the contenders. FIRST KITTEN (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fifth. Worth noting Alexis Centeno goes aboard. Nicely placed to find some form.
