TEAM OF RIVALS (9) has not appeared since he finished sixth over 1710m at Aqueduct Turf on October 23. Best figures read very well. SENOR ROBERTO (4) is a genuine type with two minor placings from three starts this prep. Turned in another good performance at his most recent run when second over 1811m at GULFSTREAM PARK All Weather (Synthetic) after he was handy all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. THUNDER ZEUS (6) returns after six months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 1609m at this track (Turf). Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. CASH BONUS (2) produced another moderate effort last start when 7 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf. Nicely placed to find some form.
