SO SANDY (3) is back from a lay-off of nine months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1m1/4f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Leading contender. DIVE BOMBER (8) finished 3 lengths away in fifth last time out over 7f at Churchill Downs three weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Cristian Mauricio Torres has registered two minor placings when on board. Should be hard to stop. LUNAR MODULE (5) built on a nice second two starts back at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) with success over 7½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) five weeks ago, getting home by 1. 75 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is one of the key runners. VAMOS CARLITOS (6) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 7f at Churchill Downs after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
