TARTABULL (2) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Closed last prep with a third, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1408m at Laurel. Will be hard to beat. IGNITER (4) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing sixth over 1811m in the G2 Remsen Stakes at this track (Dirt) ten weeks ago which was the only run of that prep. Winning rider Manuel Franco sticks. Among the leading chances. HONG KONG PHOOEY (5) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 11 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. HEDGE RATIO (1) has not been sighted since he scored over 1308m at this track on November 22. Ticks all the right boxes.
