HARD TO SAY (6) did little and finished 9 lengths from the winner in ninth over 7f at Churchill Downs last start, a less impressive effort than his seventh at Keeneland the run before. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. LEAN MUSIC MACHINE (4) was safely held when third last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has the class to take care of this field. COME FULL CIRCLE (8) finished third last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 2. 75 lengths. Ready to go a couple better. PANDEMIC HERO (3) was beaten 8 lengths into fifth over 6f at this track at his latest appearance. Better than recent efforts suggest.
