INNOVATOR (10) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 11 lengths when eighth over 5½f at Churchill Downs six weeks ago. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. BERRY MISCHIEVOUS (9) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 1. 3 lengths last time out over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Likely to press forward from wide out. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. TOM SAWYER (6) returns from a lay-off of four months and did win when resuming last time in work over 5½f at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Should be prominent. BIJOU BEAR (3) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 7 lengths, over 6f at this track. Capable of playing a big role.
