HEALING WATERS (4) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. EXPLOSIVELY (6) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Wide draw and will need a good steer from Fernando De La Cruz. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. REAL NAUGHTY (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on November 26, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Has to be respected. ICE EXPRESS (7) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 19 lengths into ninth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
