Gocaptainmycaptain (#6) - Claimed for $25,000 and paid instant dividends by winning next start while breaking maiden. Takes another drop into $10,000 N2L and looks well-spotted again for new connections.

Socart'smyname (#3) - Won by 11 against Illinois-bred $15,000 maidens, but that was back in February. Has talent, but layoff a major concern.

Alaskan Storm (#1) - Kentucky invader shipped to Chicago and made 4-wide move to finish 2nd against similar field.

Explodant Mike (#7) - Closer consistently gets piece of the action, but just 1 for 20 lifetime makes him vie for smaller share once again.
