CHILLAX posted a good time last time out and gets the nod. Classicist has a top jockey booked and appeals most of the rest.

Getting better with experience. Pick of efforts when beaten ½ length in maiden special weight at Churchill Downs on latest outing. Comes here in good form and merit of last effort was underpinned by the clock. One to consider.

Yet to hit the frame in either start. Showed more on latest run. Timefigure last time out gives no reason to doubt that form. Back from a break but ought to be in the thick of the action.
