AVELLINO (3) got home by 0.3 lengths last time out over 5½f at this track (Synthetic). Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Should camp just off the leaders. Expecting a bold showing. ESCAPE ROOM (6) turned in a eye-catching run last start over 5½f at this track (Synthetic), winding up hard from well back on straightening to finish a close second. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and is a key runner. ANAJULIAFOREVER (1) was safely held when resuming last start over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 11 lengths. Should park just off the speed. One of the main contenders. DR RAY D (4) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5½f at this track (Synthetic), beaten 1.75 lengths. Fitter for that run. Likely improver with top-three claims again.
