COAL BATTLE (3) went forward last start over 1m1/2f in the G3 Matt Winn Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 1.3 lengths. Has the class to build on that strong effort last start. INSTANT REPLAY (9) made it two wins in succession last start when he scored by one length over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CHUNK OF GOLD (5) was well fancied last start over 1m1f in the G3 Ohio Derby at Thistledown (Dirt) when second, beaten 2 lengths. Jareth Loveberry has registered three minor placings when on board. Should be involved in the finish. PUBLISHER (1) is back from a lay-off of nine weeks. Closed last prep with a 14th, beaten 32 lengths, over 1m2f at Churchill Downs. Key contender.
