BIG HAT WILLIE (5) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fifth over 6f at Oaklawn Park. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. ALCOVE (3) did a great job to score by 2.25 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. BUSHIDO (4) returns from a lay-off of five-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when ninth over 5f at Churchill Downs (Turf). Should park just off the speed. Sure to be competitive. COMMANDER STORM (1) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into sixth over 5½f at this track. Strips fitter and can play a big role.
