HARD TO SAY (7) finished off last campaign with a ninth over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on November 28 and has since switched yards. Goes well when resuming from a lay-off, including two minor placings from four starts. One of the main contenders. LEAN MUSIC MACHINE (2) 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 started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Finds a suitable assignment and can rediscover winning form. READY SET TWIRL (3) returns from a lay-off of nine weeks and did win when resuming last time in work over 6f at this track (Turf). Makes plenty of appeal. GYPSY DREAMING (4) turned in a fine effort to score by 5 lengths at this track and distance last start in a far better effort. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling.
