Pacific states (12) is a 10-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 7 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 6f at this track (dirt).Fitter for that outing and is a great chance to break his maiden status.My uncle frank (2) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth after being in the firing line on the turn at his latest appearance over 1m1/2f at keeneland (dirt).Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through.Chitwood (8) returned from a spell eight weeks ago when he was in contention on the turn before being beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 6f at this track.Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge.Solevo (11) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 6f at keeneland.Nicely placed to find winning ways.
