CHERRY TIME (2) was quickly into stride over 1400m at this track last time and went on to score by 4 lengths. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. NICE SHOOT (5) ran well below his best last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth at $5.10. Should camp just off the leaders. Sure to be in the finish. CON SPIRITO (9) did a great job to score by one length over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. IROMEGANE (6) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten half a length at $23.70. Can play a role again.
