GOT THUNDER (12) made progress last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 6f at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BRITERDAYZAHEAD (6) produced a reasonable effort when fourth last start over 6½f at Churchill Downs, beaten 2.75 lengths. That followed a win at Churchill Downs the start prior. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be underestimated. PAYNE (4) improved last start to finish second over 6f at Churchill Downs after being in the firing line on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CALIFORNIA TIGER (7) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 2.25 lengths at his most recent outing when third over 6f at Del Mar (Dirt). Going well and he can figure in the finish.
