PAYNTER'S CANVAS (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 3.5 lengths away in second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Looks well placed so expect another big run. VLADISLAV (3) has registered five minor placings from five runs this campaign. Produced another good performance last start when third over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after he gave away a big start. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. WHY NOT ME (7) started at $7.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. VERBIER (4) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent until the final stages. In the right race and should be about the money.
