Cat Singer (#5) - Coming out of a win on the turf in a $50K stake, but vast majority of career has been equally impressive on the dirt. 3 races back was a $40K stake win where he closed from mid-pack to beat Catlaunch. Versatile runner can go to the lead or rate and can do whatever it takes to win today.

Catlaunch (#7) - 5-year-old is on a roll coming into today's contest on a 4-race win streak, not counting last effort, which was a $50K stake on the turf. Most likely a prep for today, where he should get the lead and be very dangerous if he's not pushed.

Only One King (#3) - Top local trainer/jockey combo of Radosevich and Spieth are behind this consistent 6-year-old, who is another coming into today riding an impressive win streak on the dirt. He has 4 in a row, and has hit the board in all 9 of his last 9 dirt starts. Speedster needs the lead and if he can get it, he may wire the field.
