SILVER ASSASSIN (1) ran below expectations last time in Listed grade at Lone Star Park Turf (Turf) over 1609m, finishing fifth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Should park just off the speed. Will give a great sight. ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN (9) ran well below his best last time over 1509m at Lone Star Park Turf (Turf), beaten 3 lengths into fourth at $4.10. Good record at this journey with three wins and seven minor placings from 12 starts and is a key runner. VESTES (10) travelled in a rearwards position then made some inroads and finished 4 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1308m at Fair Meadows seven weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Among the chances. INWOOD DRIVE (3) is a promising galloper who saluted at his last run before a break ten weeks ago over 1308m at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Backmarker who keeps coming. Will be doing his best work late.
