VLADISLAV (2) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent effort a second at this track (Dirt) over 1609m when he was beaten 3 lengths. Performs well here with minor placings at all four runs. Should be in the finish. PAYNTER'S CANVAS (1) is a consistent performer with two minor placings from three starts this time in work. Turned in another good effort last time out when second over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) after he was in the firing line all the way. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. WHY NOT ME (4) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start second at this track (Dirt) over 1609m when beaten 0.3 lengths. Commendable record at this trip with a win and five minor placings and shapes as one to consider. BIG BUCKSALOT (8) finished third last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 5.5 lengths. Ready to go a couple better.
