NOW THEN (5) was beaten just 0. 3 lengths last start when second in a small field over 1m at Turf Paradise Turf (Turf). Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will play a major role. ELSTON GUNNN (3) was always well out of his ground when 22 lengths from the winner in eighth over 6f at Tampa Bay Downs last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at Tampa Bay Downs the run before. Has the talent to take care of this field. SHANKAPOTAMUS (7) gave the leaders a start last start and made little impact in the straight when eighth, beaten 19 lengths, over this journey in stakes class at Fonner Park (Dirt). Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. SCOTTISH STORM (4) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Among the chances.
