SOLID COUNTRY GOLD (11) has been about the money with four minor placings from seven runs this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Rates highly and expected to run well again. SARA'S SHAMAN (8) started at 11/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth and beaten 10 lengths at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 1m. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. OPTIMUS KAT (10) raced on the speed last time but faded to finish sixth over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will be in this for a long way. MUFFIN NUTS (12) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 11 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to make amends.
