Lane 2 and firm (10.8 GS) for the turf on a beautiful sunny day in Toronto.
The Jackpot Hi 5 carryover is $514K for the 10th race, a NW2 OS allowance/$40K claimer that could belong to the fast-working comebacker Awesome Five.
Off a narrow loss in the G1 United Nations at Monmouth, the Graham Motion-trained Can'thelpbelieving is a standout in the G2 Nijinsky, a 10-furlong turf route that lured just four others. It goes as race 6, and he should be a key on numerous Pick 4 wagers. There is no show betting on the race.
The G3 Royal North, a six-furlong sprint for distaffers, seems wide open. The obvious protagonists are Nobody's Fault, Skylander Girl and Kasuga. Code Warrior is a wild card in her first grass outing, and Southern Ring is a vulnerable favorite. Scatter Gun and River Maid are scratched.
Moonlight Sky is an important scratch from the second. All the changes can be found soon at http://pro.drf.com/entries
