CHIEF MANKATO (5) drops in class. This Jack Channon trained recruit shaped nicely when fifth in a handicap over 6f at Windsor during August and there is no reason to believe he won't handle switching to AW surface. MANY A STAR (1) could have a say racing off 3lb lower than when a good third at Windsor on his penultimate outing. The unexposed TAN RAPIDO (2) is down in standard and up in trip on his second handicap start. Requires a market check after a lengthy break. DARK SIDE THUNDER (9) is also considered.
