STATEMENT MADE (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when fifth in a 1m4f contest at Keeneland two months ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds an easier assignment and can take this out. LEADING (11) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when eighth over 1m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Has found a suitable race. ATLANTIC DANCER (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 7f. This is a nice drop in grade so he is perfectly placed to score. PALAGIO (12) broke his maiden three starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 3 lengths into third over 1m1/2f at Hawthorne (Turf). Should be poised just off the lead. Must be respected.
