OWN THE FIELD (1) is a consistent performer with four minor placings from five starts this campaign. Was in the firing line all the way and finished 3 lengths from the winner in third last start over 1m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to take this out. RIDER'S SPECIAL (4) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 6f at this track, beaten half a length. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. MASTER OF ARMS (2) got well back over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 4 lengths away in fourth. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. DILLINGER (3) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 8 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 6½f. One of the main contenders.
