GOLDEN GLIDER (3) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on December 10, finishing eighth and beaten 7 lengths over 1509m at Delta Downs (Dirt). Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. SOPHIE'S PAINTER (6) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 4 lengths when seventh over 1006m at this track five weeks ago. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. UXMAL (2) drew wide and ran poorly last start when beaten 9 lengths into eighth at this course and distance after meeting with market support. Fared better at the barrier draw this time. A better showing is expected. TAPPIN FORA DANCE (9) was below his best last time when sixth over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 4.5 lengths. Open to improvement and should be about the mark.
