SMARTER STILL (3) Picked up late to win last start at this track and showing improvement in recent outings. Should muster plenty of early toe. Good chance in this event. SASSAGOULA RIVER (4) Backing up quickly for this race. Ran on strongly when 3rd beaten by 4 1/2L last run here but competing at a higher level of competition. Goes very close. ARAMI'S SPEIGHSTER (1) Good performance to run into 2nd beaten by 5L last run at the track and has drawn to do little work. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Looks value and a good place bet. LET'S GO LIAM (6) Came on strongly to finish 3rd when beaten by close to 9L last time here but facing formidable opponents. Helen Marie Vanek is a pivotal booking. Key player.

Tailed off to finish 8th last start at this venue but will try to take advantage of the draw. Facing stiffer opposition. Very unlikely.

Started $18.00 and advanced late into 5th last time at Woodbine and stepping down to a lower level. Shows good finishing speed. Prefer a race with softer competition.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by close to 9L last time at the track but challenged by more formidable competitors. Helen Marie Vanek is a suitable booking. Very tidy performer.
