WISH CAREFULLY (2) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 20 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1609m at Turfway Park, beaten 2.75 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. FAST JOKER (1) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Well placed and expected to feature. PHENOMENAL DREAM (5) kept coming only to just miss last start over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to take this out. ROMANTIC LEAD (4) finished fifth last time out over 1811m at Keeneland, beaten 12 lengths. Key player.

Racing well recently. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Oaklawn Park on April 19 over 1710m, 1.3 len behind Miracle Mack carrying 55.5kg at $7.30. The race before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 11 at Oaklawn Park on April 10 over 1609m, 1.3 len behind Holus Bolus with 55.5kg at $4.10. Can build on that encouraging effort last start.
