PAINTED SUNDAY (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 5½f at this track after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CHIEF HARLAN (7) was below his best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 13 lengths over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MEDAL OF HONOR (1) is a six-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the John Hirdes barn. Most recently finished in the placings at Remington Park (Dirt) before going for a break. Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. Expected to be in the finish. STREAKIN DEACON (4) finished 15 lengths away in ninth at his last appearance over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) on April 13 after he was well back on straightening. Should be about the money.
