No. 7 Nautical Star (7-2) is lightly raced and might have the race flow in his favor. Irad Ortiz Jr. got to know him in a clear place finish in the Gallant Bob last time.
No. 10 Uncashed (4-1) returns to the main track and might bounce back. He is very fast on conventional dirt and might be the speed of the speed.
No. 1 Frosted Departure (8-1) figures to work out a decent ground-saving trip behind the speed. The competent dirt sprinter sports back-to-back bullet workouts at Keeneland.
No. 2 Damon’s Mound (5-2) captured his last two wet-track stakes starts. He won both outings at six panels, and his early-pressing versatility should serve him well.
