TEXAS PRESIDENT (1) goes very well over this trip including two wins. Placed last time (34.45) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 4 lengths. Looks a key chance on best form. MEPUNGA DONNA (5) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (42.86) last time out at The Meadows. Has never missed the frame at the trip from four starts. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Likely to be in the finish again. LAMIA TAYA (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (35.19) last time in a R/A FIN at this track. Shapes as one to consider. GREYSYND SAMMY (8) can sneak into the finish with the right run.
