TRE ITALIANI (3) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) when he was handy all the way. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. CONTRIBUTION (2) debuted with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1m at this track, beaten 1. 75 lengths. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. CRISIS MANAGER (5) was comfortably accounted for when ninth last time out over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park, beaten 8 lengths. That followed a win at Churchill Downs at the previous outing. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a leading player. ORIGINAL SIN (1) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 4. 5 lengths, over 1m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Strong chance again.
