COUNTING STARS (8) reunites with Francisco Arrieta after scoring with ease over 6f in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) last time. Has been in solid form this campaign with two wins to her name. Among the leading chances. PAVING (5) returned from a break last start and drifted well back before closing powerfully to score over 6f at Fairgrounds (Dirt), getting home by half a length. Ideally placed to feature again. COPPER WIND (2) showed good early speed over 6f at Fairgrounds (Dirt) on debut last start and went on to salute by 1. 75 lengths. Capable of testing this field. SCOT'S LAW (3) scored last start at Churchill Downs (Dirt) to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Don't underestimate.
