KING ICE (7) failed to run a strong 1m1f last start after a close second over 1m at this track (Dirt) the run prior. Record at this shorter journey is sound so looks a leading contender. BEYOND BEST (6) was a placegetter on dirt over 7f at Churchill Downs in a but missed the frame on turf over 1m at this track last time. Good record at this journey with two wins and five minor placings from 10 starts and is sure to run well. KITTY HAWK (4) is a talented gelding who was well held last time out in the tougher Indiana Derby won by Dragoon Guard over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 27 lengths into seventh. With the blinkers added shapes as one to consider. LAUGHINALLTHEWAY (3) was beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs at his latest appearance. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
