PROBATIONER (6) is a three-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent appearance over 4½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after he gave away a big start. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. TURF CAT (2) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fourth at this track (Turf) over 5f, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter and the blinkers going on adds to the appeal. WILLIAMS EMPIRE (1) is on debut. By Classic Empire and hails from the W E Morey stable. Bold showing expected. GOODMENARESCARCE (5) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of J Corrigan. By Unified from Not A Peep. Worth watching for a betting push.
