EL PRESTIGIO (2) finished second, beaten 2.25 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after he was in contention on the turn. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. CAN DO ANDREW (7) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage fifth last start, beaten 7 lengths over 6½f at Keeneland (Dirt). Should settle up near the speed. Rates highly on debut effort and should go well. MOTEL PATEL (3) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 5f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when third, beaten 6 lengths. Handy draw will assist so another top-three finish is on the cards. RESTLESS RENEGADE (1) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6½f at Churchill Downs, beaten 9 lengths into fifth after being in contention on the corner. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish.
