SHERWOOD AVENUE (6) has returned in good order this campaign. Won his maiden when resuming over 6½f at Turfway Park (Synthetic) then finished second over 5f at this track (Turf) last time. Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts him right in this. SOLDIERS SACRIFICE (11) ran well below his best last time over 5f at this track (Turf), beaten 16 lengths into eighth at 9/2. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. CINCO RICHIE (4) returns after a lay-off of seven months. Looking to emulate his win at Lone Star Park when returning from a lay-off last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. WITT AMERICA (9) finished fourth over 5f at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 2 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
