FLOODLITES (3) is coming off a last-start sixth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1m at Del Mar. Credentials hard to fault. WAR HUMOR (6) recorded his maiden win four back and is ready to score again after a couple of recent minor placings, the latest when second at Laurel (Turf). Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts him right in this. THUNDERHAWK (4) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), scoring by 0.3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is one of the main chances. SPECIAL CREED (9) ran seventh at his latest appearance over 1m1/4f at Horseshoe Indianapolis, finishing 8 lengths from the winner. Has solid credentials.
