POSTER (5) was prominent throughout when winning fresh over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Turf) six weeks ago. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expecting a bold showing. SKIPPYLONGSTOCKING (2) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on August 22, finishing eighth and beaten 39 lengths over 1811m in the G2 Charles Town Classic (Dirt). Sure to make his presence felt. CON COMPANIA (7) was last at the races when he scored over 1609m at this track (Dirt) on October 18. Now under the care of new trainer Robert S Dibona. Can make his presence felt. CLASSIC OF COURSE (4) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 4 lengths over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and has solid claims.
