RACE 1
| 5. I’m Flying Up | More lightly raced than some other contenders and might be able to make the front here |
| 3. The Godmother | Middle move in latest before flattening and has better efforts to return to; Carlisle 20% first off the claim |
| 7. Medallion of Ash | Debut runner’s siblings have not impressed, but sire Medallist is above average with debut runners; trainer Cromer 1-for-2 with firsters |
RACE 2
| 2. Pour Me a Drink | Busy runner gets back to best one-turn game; most recent dash try was sneaky good, as a terrible stumble leaving the gate left him with no shot, so clean trip a must |
| 1. All Caps | Most likely winner probably will be bet down to unacceptably low level; repeat of latest might be enough, and any improvement at all would win |
| 3. Funny Road | Improving sort is making short work of conditions |
RACE 3
| 7. Sherunsthistown | Lost all chance when breaking slowly; willing try while widest in lane |
| 1. Double Spirit | Dueled on the lead in latest |
| 4. Bustier | Sat a good trip in latest but couldn’t seal the deal |
RACE 4
| 9. Reverend Jack | Arrives in career-best form |
| 7. Summoning Denis | Will be a strong fave and has a number of outings that win here, but pace scenario doesn’t look overly favorable to this closing sort |
| 5. Valhalla’s Palace | Tactical speed might make him the best-positioned of the main contenders when things get serious |
RACE 5
| 8. Tapwrit Warrior | Good effort in first local try when regrouping after being shut off to earn second against similar |
| 4. Dice Arm | Speedy sort couldn’t go with 1-5 winner in latest |
| 6. In Retrospect | Nominal class rise shouldn’t be an issue |
RACE 6
| 2. Emperorofthedark | Might be speediest of those drawn inside |
| 5. Buffalo Shuffle | Has mostly kept better company and excuses in latest when fractious in the gate and squeezed leaving |
| 8. Prize Fighter | Never engaged versus better in latest but prior efforts good enough |

RACE 7
| 9. Caribbean Comedy | Debut runner is a half to a six-time winner, and sire Barbados’ offspring are 5-for-12 when debuting as older runners; trainer Brown 14% with older firsters |
| 4. Mudslide | Morning line fave showed good speed on debut at DEL behind winner Brookmesa, who repeated in allowance company, but has just one work and no starts since early October |
| 7. Swan | Has run OK versus similar |
RACE 8
| 8. Irish Hero | Speedster could be a handful in this spot and should be one-two early; Timonium win produced a next-out winner |
| 3. Little Roo Roo | Usually runs well in one-turn dashes and recently has been able to run on without getting lead |
| 2. Bella Mela | Will be hunting the front early |
RACE 9
| 1. Minxzluckystarfyre | Might get perfect setup to unleash late kick in race with plentiful early speed; trainer-jock combo 9-for-25 over the strip |
| 3. Joshy Jak | Could be speed of the speed and makes first start in Joy barn |
| 6. You Must Chill | Defeated similar in latest in drop to lowest level |
