ONLY PHIL (5) faced the starter for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fifth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 6½f, beaten 7 lengths. Anticipating sharp improvement with the run under the belt. MELLIFLUOUS (3) worked home well to grab third at his latest appearance at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 7f. Good signs last time and worth consideration. RIPPED (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at Churchill Downs, beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. SAINT SHANCE (7) is back from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Debuted with a second, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 6f at Turfway Park at his only appearance to date. A bold showing is expected.
