SHOT FOR THE MOON (7) Picked up nicely to win last time around here and rising in trip. Jose E Vargas provides some weight relief. Key player. DATS MY PHARAOH (3) Put in a competitive run when placing 2nd last run around here but up against stronger competition. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. MAUPANSANT (4) Chased well when 4th last run at this venue but competing at a higher level of competition. Must be considered. RETURN FIRE (5) Honest run on the speed before fading to finish 3rd beaten by 4 1/2L last time around here but challenged by more formidable competitors. In the mix.
