COMMITTEE OF ONE (8) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 15 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 5½f at Churchill Downs, beaten 5 lengths. Has the ability to take this out. HILARIOUS AFFAIR (10) turned in a modest performance when eighth last time out over 5½f at Churchill Downs, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at Aqueduct at the previous outing. Finds an easier assignment and can rediscover winning form. SHARDS (11) returns after a lay-off of nine months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 6f at this track. One to consider. PERFECT PRANKSTER (3) is a progressive three-year-old colt who hasn't raced since finishing second over 6f at this track (Synthetic) on March 8 which was the only run of that prep. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a lay-off in two starts. Has to be respected.
