AWE INSPIRED (4) finished 9 lengths adrift in ninth last time at Woodbine All Weather in a disappointing performance. Has the ability to take care of this field. PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE (5) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 12 lengths away in sixth over 1106m at Finger Lakes. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. FORESTER HUMOR (2) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from four appearances this preparation, finishing 2.75 lengths away in third most recently over 1006m at this track. In the mix again. VANDOO (1) has registered four minor placings from seven runs this campaign. Continued the trend last time out when third over 1106m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
