COUNTY JUDGE (1) is a three-start maiden who finished ninth at his most recent appearance over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. LONE TREE (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 6f at this track after being in contention on the bend. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. WOODFORD HOLLER (2) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 15 lengths when seventh in a 1m contest at this track four weeks ago. Won't find this as tough so he is likely to play a big role. BIG AND BOLD (5) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage sixth last start, beaten 17 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Plenty of scope for improvement.
