AIR IT OUT (10) is a nine-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent outing over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. PHENOMENAL DREAM (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 6½f at Churchill Downs. Has the class to take this out. I GOT A GUY (11) is a 13-start maiden who was close to a win before a four-and-a-half months break, finishing off with a minor placing at Prairie Meadows (Dirt). Tricky draw to overcome. Has ability and is a leading player. STATLER (7) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 6½f at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
