BERNIN HOT (9) last appeared three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1m1 1/2f at Churchill Downs when he finished sixth. This is his first run for the Christopher J Davis stable. Best figures put him right in this. WORCESTER (6) turned in an eye-catching run over 6f at this track (Dirt) when resuming last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish second. Well placed to feature again. KING COVEE (2) is racing well including a last start third over 1m at this track (Turf). Among the leading chances. ST JUDE (4) closed last prep 11 months ago when he finished fifth over 6f at this track. Solid top-three hope.
