BEAR CLAW NECKLACE (2) Back from a break. Narrowly clinched the victory last time at this venue and has a positive draw. Appears well in this. PRAETOR (4) Fresh today after a break. Dictated terms in front to win by a margin of a head last start at Aqueduct. Serious contender. KINETIC CONTROL (3) Couldn't stay in touch when 6th last start here. Should bounce back and solid career start. Not out of this. C K WONDER (1) First up from a spell. Mediocre display when 6th last run at Churchill Downs but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Finishes off strongly. Don't leave out of trifectas and watch market moves closely.
