INNOVATOR (1) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Dirt) over 5½f, beaten 0.8 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Big chance to score. SANDMAN (2) was well in commission on his debut over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) six-and-a-half weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 11 lengths. Better for the run and can improve sharply. JUJUBEE (5) went forward over 5½f at Ellis Park (Dirt) on debut last start but found one better. Fitter and with the blinkers added is sure to be competitive. AVIATOR GUI (4) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Chad C Brown. By Uncle Mo from Paulistinha. Top-three chance.
