Stake: $26,874

Q B NINE (3) Won easily by 5 1/4L last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis and getting better in recent performances. Travis Wales and Steve Manley show promise as a combination. Has the ability to take this out. XAVI (5) Hit the line well when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last run at this venue. Alexander Bendezu usually performs well for the Ralph Martinez stable. Should be going forward early. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. VALIANT WEST (4) Attacked the line when 2nd last run at Hawthorne but coming back in distance. Been in the money each start this preparation. Will be competitive. QUALITY STORM (2) Unsatisfactory performance when 6th last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis but drawn nicely. Take on trust.
