HEDGE (7) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in fifth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 5f. Expected to finish much closer with the race experience on board. MUSIC MAN (5) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 4½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) in a tougher race. Likely improver so he shouldn't be a maiden for long. SELL IT (8) showed good speed and fought on for second over 5f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on debut last start. One of the main contenders. OPTICAL (2) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fourth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 5½f, beaten 6 lengths. Not to be discounted.
