CAMPAIGN TRAIL (3) made progress last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 6½f at Keeneland after being prominent at the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TEAM TROY (9) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to break through. Most recently finished fourth over 5f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf), beaten 1.5 lengths. Capable enough so worth another chance. TOMASELLO (4) never really threatened on debut, finishing midfield and beaten 11 lengths over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Expected to do far better this time. TARTARIAN (1) was always well out of his ground when 20 lengths from the winner in tenth over 6½f at Churchill Downs last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth on debut at Keeneland the run before. Has the talent to put the recent run of form behind him.
