TDZSHININLUCKYSTAR (1) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 0.3 lengths last time out over 1m in stakes class at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. AWESOME RUTA (9) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1m in Listed grade at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Will be close to the pace despite the draw. Will prove tough to beat. CORNISHMAN (5) went forward over 1m1f at Ellis Park (Dirt) last time but found one better. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and four minor placings from six starts. Shapes as one to consider. CAROLO RAPIDO (7) is a last-start winner seven weeks ago, scoring by 0.3 lengths over 1m1f at Ellis Park. Serious contender.
