PAYNE (7) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by 1.75 lengths over 6f at Ellis Park (Dirt). Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and is right in this. AIR COMBAT (8) sat close to the pace last time out but faded to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths over this journey at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Expected to measure up here. Worth another try. UNCASHED (6) fought on well for third last start over 6f at Hawthorne (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Walter A Rodriguez who has scored on him three times retains the mount. One of the contenders. BURNINHUNKOFLOVE (3) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Scored over 6f at Fairgrounds at the start of last prep. Boasts a fine when resuming record of three wins from four starts. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
