CRUDE VELOCITY (6) remains unbeaten after two starts, scoring again last time over 6½f at Santa Anita (Dirt). Had plenty on his rivals last time and will go well again. TROUBLE CALLING (2) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 7f in stakes class at Keeneland (Dirt), getting home by a nose. Winning rider Luis Saez retains the mount. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. ENGLISHMAN (1) is a promising galloper who kept his unbeaten record intact last start when resuming over 6f at Fairgrounds, making it two victories. Comfortable winner last time and can measure up again. CREOLE CHROME (8) missed the placings last time out over 1m1f in the G1 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland (Dirt). Prior to that had won two races on end. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the better hopes.
