AUSTIN CRUISE (1) ran below expectations last time after being prominent on the bend at this track (Synthetic), finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths starting at 6/1. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. PIQUANT (2) continues to race well with a win in a at this track (Synthetic) before finishing 2.5 lengths away in third last time over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Deserves another chance. EL DANDI (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 12 lengths when tenth over 6f at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Nicely placed to take this out. RULOOKINFORRAYRAY (4) looks to kick off this prep the way he ended the last nine weeks ago when he scored over 6f at Churchill Downs. One of the main contenders.
