ESKE CASTLE (7) finished a neck from the winner in third on debut over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) on December 11 and has not appeared since. Looks to have a future so he can return in winning form. MUNNY PROBLEM (1) is a seven-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs, most recently when 0.8 lengths away in second over 1207m at Presque Isle Downs. Going well enough to test this field. FRENCHQUARTER NOTE (5) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1207m at this track (Turf) after being prominent at the turn. Nicely placed to play a major role. TURBO LAUNCH (6) is a consistent performer with four minor placings from six starts this campaign. Produced another good effort last time out when second over 1609m at Belmont Park (Synthetic). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
