BATTLEOFTHERAVINE (4) remains a maiden after five starts. Finished fourth last start over 5½f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), beaten 9 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. KNOCK'EM OUT JERRY (5) returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 6f at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Opened last prep with a minor placing at Fairgrounds over 6f. Set for a bold return. STREAKIN DEACON (7) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 5½f at Oaklawn Park, beaten 9 lengths. Tackling a more suitable race so he is one of the main contenders. AFFIXED (2) finished 28 lengths away in 11th at his last appearance over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) on May 3 after he got a long way back in the run. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
