HASSAN PP (2) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when in contention on the bend, finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 274m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HOT AMERICAN BADAZZ (3) did a good job last start to finish third at this track (Dirt) over 274m, beaten 0.9 lengths. Hasn't been far away this time in work with three minor placings from six starts. Leading contender. FAVORITEDASHFORCASH (7) was well fancied last time out but could only manage fifth over 274m at this track on November 30. Has a decent record at this trip with five minor placings from seven tries and shapes as a key runner. ULTRA WEALTHY (6) was prominent at the bend and finished third last start over 274m at this track (Dirt), beaten a nose. Should be peaking. Should be about the money.
