TRUST DADDY (3) improved sharply on his ninth two starts back at Churchill Downs (Dirt) with success over 5½f at Remington Park (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by 7 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can go on to make it two in a row. SARA'S SHAMAN (2) was in the money two starts back at Remington Park but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh, beaten 8 lengths, at Remington Park (Dirt) over 1m1/4f. Finds a nice race and can atone. PROVEN HOPE (5) was sent out at 14/1 last time but ran above expectations and won over 6½f at Delta Downs (Dirt). Capable of another bold performance. I DON'T GET IT (7) was well supported when resuming last time out over 6½f at Zia Park (Dirt) and proved too strong, scoring by 0.3 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and appeals as a solid top-three hope.
