YOUTHFUL ENERGY (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6½f at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. BRADLEY DO RIGHT (1) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track (Dirt) then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third when he was prominent throughout over 7f at this track (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GRANDY (3) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth. Nicely placed to take this out. PRIME SHOPPING (2) got off the mark over 6½f at this track (Dirt) last start, scoring by 4 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Marshall Mendez was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped.
