BRAVE BLEND (1) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1m at Ellis Park after being prominent at the bend. Going up a level this time but he cannot be overlooked. ODORICO (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Colonial Downs, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. BIG SALT LICK (2) got the prize two runs ago at Ellis Park. Not as effective last time out when eighth over 1m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 5 lengths. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. FIRST BID (4) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6f at Oaklawn Park. Has switched to the yard. One to consider.
