BARBADIAN RUNNER (3) scored by 0. 1 lengths last start at Listed level at Laurel (Dirt) over this distance after he was prominent at the corner. Form over this journey is strong, boasting four wins from four starts. Drops back in grade. Sure to be there at the finish. ARISTOTLE (5) was sent out at 20/1 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1m1f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Can repeat the dose. VIBE (1) is a talented entire who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 99 lengths behind Nysos over 1m in the G1 Metropolitan Handicap at Saratoga (Dirt). Has been in great form with two victories from three outings this campaign. Should be involved in the finish. ADERO (2) turned in a strong run last time when he settled well back before running on hard to be beaten only 0. 1 lengths into second over 1m1f in stakes class at Laurel (Dirt). Will find this much easier. Sure to be thereabouts.
