MAASAI WARRIOR (3) finished second at Hawthorne two runs back but was less effective last time over 1m at Hawthorne (Turf), finishing 7 lengths back in seventh. Has the talent to figure prominently. SHADY MCGEE (6) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 15 lengths when fourth in a 1m1/4f contest at Hawthorne a month ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. KEEN RESPONSE (2) turned in an encouraging run at this course and distance last time, winding up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 7 lengths. Well placed and is among the chances. SAFE (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing eighth at Hawthorne (Turf) over 5½f. Faces an easier assignment so he is perfectly placed to score.
