Warren's Adventure - Didn't take to grass last time, now returns to her preferred surface; distance may suit her too.

Long Shot - Mind the Minister

Race 6 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $54,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

Air Commander - Never looked comfortable in his return off a 8-month hiatus; had three works since and will be sharper.
