SIR OLLIE (7) Couldn't stay in touch when 7th last time at Ellis Park. Can show a better performance this time. Displays good tactical speed. First start for a new trainer. Will be competitive. APPEAL DENIED (3) First run back from a break. Weakened under pressure when 5th last run at Ellis Park. Capable of a strong comeback. Must be considered. BURNINHUNKOFLOVE (5) First up after 12 weeks and picked up late to win first up last preparation at Lone Star Park. Racing for a new trainer. Up to these. SANTA CRUISER (6) First up after a break. Edged past some when finishing 4th last time at Oaklawn Park. Should muster plenty of early toe. Keep in mind Something for the Multiples: IMPROBABLE STORY (1) ALL WEST (4)
