PHREDDIE MAC (1) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid fourth over 1m1f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is sure to prove hard to beat. ENCINO (11) is a two-year-old colt by Nyquist out of Glittering Jewel stepping out on debut for the B H Cox stable. Looks a definite contender, particularly if the money comes. COLLINS (13) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth after being prominent at the bend at his latest appearance over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Worth including in this suitable contest. GAMBLIN GEORGE (2) could only manage to finish seventh, beaten 3.5 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1m at this track (Synthetic). Among the better chances in what looks a nice race.
