TIGERSUN (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 21 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 6f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. DRAW NIGH (3) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1. 3 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the bend. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be underestimated. JUST GOTTA SHINE (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 6f at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fourth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. ONEONTA (4) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 3. 5 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. In the right race and is one of the better hopes.
