PENCIL BLUFF (13) did little and finished 11 lengths from the winner in tenth over 1m1/2f at Fairgrounds last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth on debut at Fairgrounds the run before. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves another chance. JOEWILLY (1) is fresh from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months and did hit the frame when last resuming at this track (Dirt) over 6f. In a different yard now. Has found a suitable race and can take this out. CONWAY (5) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 13 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Among the leading chances. MIRACLE ON CENTRAL (14) is a maiden who has filled a minor placing three times in nine starts. Never a threat when resuming last start over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), finishing 6 lengths from the winner in sixth. Should be in the finish. Can feature with the right run.
