POPPY'S TICKET (6) was below his best last time when seventh over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Turf), beaten 13 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. SPEEDSTRE (2) was only 0.3 lengths from the winner in second last time out in a small field over 1106m at this track (Dirt) at the first run of the campaign. Will be fitter for that run, expect a strong run. KINGS DANCER (4) tackled stakes class last time out on November 10 and was well fancied but could only manage sixth over 1207m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. Should be involved in the finish. SENOR PONCHO (9) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1308m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Has ability and must be included in calculations.
