THOMAS AQUINAS (6) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 14 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when 12th over 1m1/2f at Keeneland, beaten 6 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. ASK ARTHUR (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1m1/2f at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BAYTOWN BRUISER (9) was below his best last time, finishing eighth and beaten 13 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). This doesn't look as hard so he is set to turn things around. SHORTSTOP (3) turned in a modest performance when sixth last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 13 lengths, after a win at Keeneland at the previous outing. Expect a better run this time.
