UPTOWN TOM (12) is racing well without winning. Last start finished seventh, beaten 27 lengths, over 1m1/2f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Terrific chance to break through. ADRIFT (8) was in the money when resuming at Belterra Park then could only manage eighth last time out over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Well placed and is among the leading players. TRUE PRODIGY (4) improved last time out, finishing one length from the winner in second at the end of 6f at Horseshoe Indianapolis after being in the firing line on the corner. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. COWBOY LUKE (7) turned in another moderate effort last start when 18 lengths from the winner in 11th over 6½f at Churchill Downs. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
