NANTASKET BEACH (3) was prominent from the outset when third over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) last time out. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Will prove tough to beat. MEDIA SENSATION (2) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when third over 1m4f at Woodbine when he was in the firing line all the way. Will enjoy the drop in grade so he is ready to find the winners' list. MUTAAWID (1) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 5 lengths when fourth over 1m1/2f at this track six days ago. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is sure to be prominent. ROUGH DRAFT (11) dug deep to score two runs back then was beaten 1.3 lengths into second over 5½f at this track (Synthetic) last time six weeks ago. Can sneak into the finish.
