BACK TO REALITY (6) Led from start to finish to win by 5 1/4L last start at this venue and facing less formidable opponents. Has early speed and positions nicely. Will be in the finish. FOREST FLASH (3) Found another gear when winning by a margin of 3 3/4L last start here but racing in stronger company. Shows good early pace. Have to respect the recent stable form. Big chance. SEA TO AIR (5) Not competitive when 4th last run at this venue but lining up against easier rivals. Ismael Eluid Mosqueira has been successful previously but back to a shorter trip. Will give a big sight. FIFTY B M G (4) Claimed late when 3rd last run here and drops back to a suitable class. Will be positive in the run early. Solid place bet prospects.

Competed in a tight contest last time at Woodbine and has minimal work to do from the draw. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Back to a shorter distance. Prefer in an easier race.

Was $27.00 and faded away to finish 7th last time at this venue but has a positive draw. Should come to hand quickly. Matched against tougher rivals. Entitled to be big odds.

Applied plenty of pressure when 3rd beaten by 1L last run at this venue and stepping down to a lower level. Should muster plenty of early toe. Represents value at a price.

Was $6.50 and had difficulty when 4th last run around here but going down in grade. Added confidence with Ismael Eluid Mosqueira doing the steering but coming back in trip. Can lift.
