CREATE TROUBLE (3) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths. Won't find this as tough so he is likely to play a big role. LAUGHING BOY (5) did little and finished 6 lengths from the winner in sixth over 6f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. HE'S GOT THIS (6) has switched yards since finishing fifth four weeks ago over 1m1f at this track. Well-placed and is among the chances. SHAMATEUR (8) had been rock-solid with three placings in a row before finishing sixth over 1m1f at Woodbine last start. Should be prominent from the outset. Must be respected.
