GENTLE SOUL (7) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Fairgrounds 12 weeks ago. Goes well at this journey with two wins from six starts and should prove tough to beat. BATTLE SCARS (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m1f at Fairgrounds, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. HELLO HOT ROD (1) finished 3 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at Oaklawn Park two weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Among the chances. WIND OF CHANGE (8) is a last-start winner over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by 0.3 lengths. Another bold showing expected.
