REBELIOUS (1) could only manage eighth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m1/2f at Woodbine, beaten only one length after being in the firing line on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CONTEMPLATION (3) finished 1.75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6½f at Delta Downs a month ago. Steps up in distance. Has a high cruising speed. Sure to be in the finish. AIRBORNE ELITE (8) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Churchill Downs, beaten 11 lengths. Strips fitter and can make amends. TIZ WICKED STRONG (7) recorded his first win last start over 1m1f at Finger Lakes (Dirt), getting home by half a length. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again.
