B SUDD (2) met with solid support last start over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when second, beaten 4.5 lengths. Has been in the money four times over this course and distance. A bold showing is expected. NORTHERN CHILL (5) finished fourth last time out over 6f at Churchill Downs, beaten 8 lengths. Has the right credentials. MISCHIEVOUS M (6) showed good pace over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time and dug deep to score by 1.75 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. GOOGOL JOKE (3) is back from a break of nine weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when fifth over 7f at Keeneland (Dirt). Blinkers come off expected to be competitive.
