B WEST (4) ran well below his best last time over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten 19 lengths into eighth at 5/4. Should camp just off the leaders. Expecting a bold showing. ADDY'S LADDY T N T (1) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at this track after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. MR MARSHALL (6) displayed plenty of early toe over 5½f at Woodbine last time and defied all challengers to score by 2.25 lengths. Won't find this as tough so he is likely to play a big role. HE'S ORIENTATE (7) saluted two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when third over 5½f at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
