BERKUS (6) finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 5f at Hawthorne, an improvement on his sixth at Hawthorne the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. WAR EMPIRE (7) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at Woodbine over 6½f, beaten 9 lengths. Among the leading chances with the run under his belt. SUGAR DROP (1) was in the placings again last time when beaten 2.75 lengths into third over 5f at this track. Has a good association with M Pinto with a run of three top-three results. One of the main contenders. J M R TURINO (8) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 29 lengths when seventh over 7f at Woodbine a week-and-a-half ago. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role.
