CACTUS (1) found one better last start at this track (Turf) over this distance after he was in the firing line on the bend. Has a very good record over today's journey with three wins from five starts. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. CERTAIN (4) was well fancied last start over 1207m at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic) when second, beaten 2.25 lengths. Goes well at this trip, recording five minor placings and looks a top chance. UPSIDEDOWN MAN (8) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 4.5 lengths when sixth in a 1106m contest at this track three weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. ZIP LINE TO HEAVEN (6) didn't fire over 1106m at Laurel (Turf) last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run prior. Has the talent to find the winners' list.
