Stake: $16,514

SHADY MCGEE (4) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just five times from 51 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1673m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. GLOBAL EMPIRE (5) settled well back and failed to come on in the straight last start when fifth, beaten 11 lengths, over this course and distance. The engagement of Ademar Santos is noteworthy. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. CONI'S COUP (7) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish sixth over 1673m at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Has the class to produce a better result. LINE TO GAIN (1) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at this track. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
