UPSTART YANKEE (2) started at $9.60 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths at Los Alamitos (Dirt) over 1609m. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is perfectly placed to score. PROWLING CAT (1) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track (Dirt) over the same trip. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. COASTAL WATERS (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on June 13 when beaten 9 lengths into fifth at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways. TEX HANLEY (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role.
