GAS ALLEY (3) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. COMMANDER STORM (1) finished fifth when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at this track. Key runner. FACE THE FUTURE (4) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 1710m on December 7. Can make his presence felt while fresh. TEXAS FREE (6) returns from a layoff of six months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1207m at this track. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on two occasions from four runs. Sure to make his presence felt.
