ORTH (7) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1m2f at Grants Pass. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Likely to feature. SHASHASHAKEMEUP (4) is a eight-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Ruben Fuentes yard. Resumes after finishing seventh at Del Mar (Dirt) at his last run 11 weeks ago. Not seen at the trials but goes very well fresh from a lay-off, winning two times from five attempts. Among the leading chances. SAINT PIO (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 5f at Canterbury Park, beaten 8 lengths into fifth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ANNA'S IRON MAN (12) ran below expectations last time at Grants Pass (Dirt), finishing ninth and beaten 13 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Worth another chance.
