Eyes of gold (2) finished third last time out when resuming over 1m1/2f at keeneland (dirt), making it seven career minor placings.Has a sound record here with four top-three finishes from five starts.Won't get too many better chances to break through.Birdie rose (4) finished 13 lengths away in seventh last time out over 6f at keeneland six weeks ago.Steps up in distance today.Among the chances.Animal fries (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when ninth over 1m1f at keeneland six weeks ago.Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.Imperator furiosa (8) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start over 1m1/2f at this track (dirt), beaten 1.75 lengths.Should be cherry-ripe.Likely improver with solid prospects.
