ICE SHOT (5) finished third, beaten 5 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track (Dirt) after he was in the firing line on the turn. This is a more suitable contest and can get the job done. ANTIETAM (4) is a seven-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 6 lengths when sixth over 7f at this track (Dirt). Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. SHELLAC (2) finished 7 lengths away in eighth last time out over 6½f at Turfway Park seven weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Blinkers removed. One of the main hopes. RESTLESS RENEGADE (3) is a four-year-old entire who is having his first run for the Linda Rice barn. Resumes after finishing sixth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) at his last run four months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Shapes as a top-three chance.
