SHANGHAI CUPID (3) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1m at this track (Turf). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RENTON (8) could only manage fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten only 0. 8 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ZORRITOS DASH (1) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was always up in the leading division over 1m at this track (Turf). Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to take this out. OBAN (4) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at Sam Houston Park, beaten 12 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
