Shell shock (4) finds it hard to win with two victories from 27 starts.Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 6½f at keeneland, beaten 14 lengths.Nicely placed to test this line-up.Tenacious lady (2) turned in a modest performance when third last time out over 6½f at remington park, beaten 5 lengths.That followed a win at remington park at the previous outing.Taking on a better line-up this time but she is up to the challenge.Steel racer (3) finished fifth two runs back at keeneland (dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn over 7f at this track (dirt).No reason she cannot salute again.Pachanga loca (5) has been kept fresh since running below her best at the last run eight weeks ago, finishing fourth over 1m1/2f at this track (dirt).Should park just off the speed.Solid claims on best form.
