DESIGNATED HITTER (1) has been racing in great heart with three top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 5½f at this track when he was in the firing line all the way. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BANDERA AZTECA (4) did little and finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1m at this track last start after being in the firing line on the corner, a less impressive effort than his fifth at this track the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. UPSTRIKER (6) did little and finished 7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 7½f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TOTALIZER (7) last appeared three weeks ago over 5½f at this track when he finished fifth. This is his first run for the Monique Goulet stable.
