ZULTAN (3) is in top form with four wins on end, the latest by a nose over 1m in stakes class at North Dakota Horse Park (Dirt) a month ago. Has a formidable combination with Nathan Haar who has been aboard for his last four wins. Expecting a bold showing. UPSTRIKER (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when fourth over 6f at this track three weeks ago after being in contention on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. NO SHOW NO CALL (4) was well fancied last start over 1m at Listed level at this track when second, beaten 5 lengths. Ronald Ali who has seven wins when partnering stays on. Has winning claims on best figures. BANDERA AZTECA (2) started at 11/4 last time but could only manage fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at this track over 6f. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Can feature in the finish.
