1609M

Prize Money: $30,645

HEZA CHARTTOPPER A (1) Threw down a serious challenge last start at Meadowlands and showing consistent performance in races. Shows good early pace.

Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 attempts. Yannick Gingras is a key booking. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . VICI (2) Couldn't stay in touch when 7th last time at Meadowlands. Likely to bounce back. Include in chances. CADILLAC BAYAMA (4) Showed some merit late when 5th last start at the track. Worth strong consideration.
