ALWAYS A WAY (4) Made no mistakes when winning by a margin of 3 3/4L last start at Fort Erie but up against a higher level of opposition. Running with confidence this campaign. Appears well in this. DELIAN LEAGUE (2) Pulled away to win by a margin of 3 1/2L last start at the track and will try to take advantage of the alley. Going well this preparation. Can win. SUNRISE DRIVE (5) Was competitive when 3rd last run here but dropping back to a shorter trip. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 2 attempts. Worth strong consideration. BIG BABY HENRY (3) Ran 4th last time here. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Very competitive this campaign. Open to improvement and is a strong chance again.

Won with a leg in the air by 3 3/4L last start at Fort Erie but competing in a more challenging grade. Will be trying to topple them late. Genuine claims.

Overrun late when 2nd beaten by 3 1/2L last run at this track but facing stiffer opposition. Likely to be well placed early. Will be dropping in distance. Must respect.
