LONG SHORTS (3) Ran on strongly when 2nd last time at this venue and racing over a longer distance. William D Cowans stable are in good form of late and promising career start. No surprise to see a win. NICE SHOT DOUG (5) Kicked clear when winning by a margin of 5 1/2L last run around here. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Worth strong consideration. MOTOR CITY MENACE (6) Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last time at this track and form has been improving over recent runs. Been in the placegetters each attempt this preparation. Suitably placed in this race. LOVELY REGALO (1) Weakened to finish 5th last start at this venue. Happy to overlook that run and up against weaker rivals. Should come to hand quickly. Back to an increased distance. Keep in mind.
