PUFFS LAST SHADOW (4) finished eighth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 metres, after a good second at this track the run prior. Meets a similar line up and he is capable of a much better performance. ARA YOU CRAZY (1) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 8 metres into sixth at Georgian Downs over 1609m. Meets a similar line up and from a far better starting position he is capable of taking this out. WHISKEY FRIDAY (6) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at Hanover Raceway. Can atone. ARTS ARSENAL (2) disappointed last time when ninth over 1609m at Mohawk Park. Can do a lot better so worth considering.
