Saturday Woodbine preview

Lane 3 and firm for the turf on a cloudy/cool day for the 12-race card.

Vanish will be the third runner to exit the G1 Woodbine Mile to start in the seventh, a one-mile optional claimer on the grass. He finished eighth behind Lord Glitters and Stormy Antarctic, who was a respectable fourth in the G1 QE II at Ascot today. Eminent Force is arguably the one to fear most, off his narrow last-out loss to Singandcryindubai, who subsequently finished a wide fourth in the G2 Nearctic.

Dixie Moon and Avie's Mineshaft are both looking to get back on track following a subpar showing in the $125K Carotene Stakes on the grass. Dixie Moon was thought to be in heat when she bombed in the Ontario Damsel Stakes. Avie's Mineshaft faded after tracking a slow pace in the La Lorgnette Stakes on the Tapeta. Bear Paw could take to the unfamiliar footing, because she has some turf breeding on the sire's side. Zestina is scratched.

No carryover in the Jackpot Hi 5, which was won yesterday.

Leading trainer Norm McKnight is 1 for his last 7, and trainer Jim Ensom is winless with his last 24 starters.

The changes can be found soon at http://pro.drf.com/entries
