SHADOW REALM (5) finished 1.4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1408m at Woodbine All Weather after being prominent at the turn four weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. HEMLO GOLD (2) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1408m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Pietro Moran is a key engagement. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. EL KABONG (1) finished third at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 2012m at this track, finishing 7 lengths back in tenth. Likely improver with strong prospects. LAC MACAZA (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1811m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fifth. No surprise to see him in the mix.
