STRATEGIC FOCUS (3) debuted with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when in contention on the turn before winding up in second over 1m1f at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to bounce back. CRUDO (6) is a talented colt who was tested in tougher class last time when eighth over 1m2f in the G1 The Belmont Stakes at this track (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. CHANCER MCPATRICK (1) is a talented colt who was tested in tougher class last time when seventh over 7f in the G1 Woody Stephens Stakes at this track (Dirt). Among the chances on best figures. SO SANDY (7) scored last start at Churchill Downs (Dirt) to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Deserves respect.
