VESPER MARTINI (1) Although being out sprinted still placed 2nd beaten by 3 1/4L last time at Thistledown and solid performer at this distance in the past. Shows good early pace. Serious player. WF APOLITICAL BULLET (3) Assumed control from the start when winning by a margin of a nose last start at the track and hard to fault at the distance. Taking on stronger opponents. Worth strong consideration. SHADOWING PT (5) Racing fresh after a break. Made every post a winner to win by 1 1/4L last run at this venue. Can go through the gears. Could be a value selection. WF JESS CANDY (4) Took charge of the race when winning by a nose last time at the track and proven runner at this distance. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Each way.
