Started $27.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 12th last run around here but has minimal work to do from the draw. Likely to be well placed early. Seems very unlikely.

Right in contention last time here and was on debut last time. Has early speed and positions nicely. Drawn nicely. Gets a chance against these.

Fresh from a spell. Started at $27.00 and ran past a few when 5th last time at Assiniboia Downs and was a debutant last start. Goes down in grade. Prefer in something a lot easier.

Did well to finish 3rd beaten by 5L last start at this venue and promising career start. Has shown early pace in races to date. In good form this preparation. Expect a forward showing.

Was $16.00 and faded to finish 8th last run at this track and dropping in distance. Will be positive in the run early. One for your trifecta.

Jumped at $18.00 and crept into 4th last time around here and will find this grade more suitable. Some hope in this event.
