SOUTHGATE GATOR (4) is still a maiden after six starts but was placed at Canterbury Park Turf (Turf) when resuming before finishing fifth at Canterbury Park Turf (Turf) last start. Should be ready to break through. MOR TIGER PAW (1) finished second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) to make it seven minor placings from 23 runs. Has a solid record here with five top-three finishes to his name. Nicely placed and expected to go very well. SPECIAL AGENT MAN (5) was prominent at the bend and finished third last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. SHANCES R (2) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
