SIR OLLIE (6) found a couple marginally better when returning from a layoff last start over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after being prominent throughout. Won't find this as tough so he is sure to be right there at the finish. DONTKISSDAMINISTER (1) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1710m at Churchill Downs, beaten 8 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Has the talent to figure prominently. KYGO (2) is fresh from a spell of six-and-a-half months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Tampa Bay Downs (Turf) over 1710m. In a different yard now. Sure to make his presence felt. MAN ON THE MOON (3) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Best figures measure up and is sure to run well.
