MASAKADO (4) turned things around last start and got the job done by half a length after being in contention on the bend over 6f at Laurel (Dirt). Finds an easier assignment and can make it back-to-back wins. GUT INSTINCT (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2 lengths when fourth over 1m at this track five weeks ago after being in contention on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ANDY CANT (6) finished third two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by half a length as favourite over 1m at this track (Dirt). Jose A Bracho scored on him last time and retains the mount. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SECRET TROUBLE (3) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when fourth over 1m at Churchill Downs, beaten 10 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.
