SOUTHSCAPE (8) Finished strongly when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last start at Fair Grounds and putting a tidy record together. Worth a bet. MAGISTRATE (1) Was overpowered late when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last time at Fair Grounds and gets the perfect draw. Jockey Jansen Melancon is in top form for this stable. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. STEEN (6) Maintained a solid pace but eventually weakened to finish 3rd beaten by 5L last run at Sam Houston. Won't be far away during the run. Worth strong consideration. SMARTY'S BACK (11) First up from a break of 50 weeks and amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 3 3/4L first up last preparation at Delta Downs. Expected to be flashing home. Strong chance.
