LIKE A SALTSHAKER (9) went fast early and went on to score by a nose last time out over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt).Should go forward from the awkward gate.Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp.PURE PANIC (2) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by a nose over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt).Goes well at this journey with two wins and two placings from six starts and is expected to be in the finish.ALL WEST (3) was always well back last start at the first run of this campaign and never threatened, finishing fourth over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt).Mitchell Murrill who has scored on him three times retains the mount.Fitter and expected to run well.STARTDFROMDABOTTOM (5) was flying with two wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing third over 6f at Mahoning Valley.
