INTO THE SUNRISE (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into eighth. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. Group 1 winner FIGURETI (3) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6f at Keeneland, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. SOARING BIRD (1) is ready to break through after collecting his 6th minor placing in a row last time over 6½f at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Going up a level this time but he cannot be left out. Group 3 placegetter VOODOO ZIP (5) raced below his best last time when eighth over 7f at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
