SHY DA RUNNER (7) ran below expectations last time at this track (Synthetic), finishing fifth and beaten 13 lengths starting at $4.30. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SNOWNAME (4) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by one length over 1106m at this track (Synthetic). That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from four runs. Leading player again. MASEN (6) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing sixth over 1207m at Delaware Park (Dirt). Top-three chance on best figures. TIZ BIG MONEY (1) finished 2.5 lengths behind the winner in second over 1308m at this track (Synthetic) last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the better hopes.
