SHAWN'S SOLVING (9) remains a maiden after four runs.Met with plenty of support last time but after being in contention on the corner could only manage to finish sixth over 1m at Delta Downs (Dirt).Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.DREWNANIMOUS (8) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6½f at Delta Downs, beaten 9 lengths after being in contention on the turn.Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up.PUNCHIE (2) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks.Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 5f at Louisiana Downs (Turf).Strong winning chance on best figures.VERO CAMPIONE (1) has not appeared since he finished ninth over 1m1/4f at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) on August 26.Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
