JUST PHILTORED (4) has missed the frame in both runs this time in, both on turf. Finished fifth at Aqueduct Turf fresh then again missed the frame when fourth at Laurel Turf over 1106m three weeks ago. Well placed in this easier race. Expected to be in the finish. SLEWPERSTITUS (3) built on a nice second when fresh from a spell two starts back at Laurel (Dirt) with success over 1106m at Laurel (Dirt) five weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Jevian Toledo scored on her last time and retains the mount. Meeting a tougher field but on current form she is good enough to take this out. DOC'S MIRACLE (2) finished third over 1408m in stakes class at Laurel (Dirt) at her most recent appearance on December 6. Sure to make her presence felt. HARK THEANGELSSING (6) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 0.3 lengths over 1106m in Listed grade at Laurel Turf (Turf). Open to plenty of improvement and is among the better chances.
