VELVET RAGE (11) is a six-start maiden who was in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second at the latest appearance over 1106m at this track (Synthetic). Blinkers added in a positive sign from the stable. HOT COCOA (4) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Managed to find the placings at Tampa Bay Downs (Turf) two starts back before finishing fourth over 1609m at this track (Turf) last start. Cannot be left out of calculations. MAGIC COLORS (5) raced once in the maiden preparation when eighth at this track (Dirt) over 1207m back on October 3. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up. MIAMI STYLE (6) was beaten 5 lengths into fourth in a 1673m contest at this track last time out. No surprise to see her in the frame.
