HARD TO SAY (9) did little and finished 9 lengths from the winner in ninth over 7f at Churchill Downs last start, a less impressive effort than his seventh at Keeneland the run before. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he can find the winners' list. LEAN MUSIC MACHINE (3) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. GYPSY DREAMING (1) turned in a fine effort to win by 5 lengths at this track and distance last start in a much improved run. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. NANTZ (10) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2. 25 lengths over 7f at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another bold showing.
