LORD BARANOF (2) is yet to break through in six runs. Finished tenth at his last appearance over 1710m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) on December 18 after he got a long way back in the run. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. CAESAREA (3) is a five-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent outing over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. VANADIUM (5) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was beaten 25 lengths into fifth over 1207m at this track. Strips fitter and can take this out. JUST CALL RIP (6) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when he did his best work late, beaten 8 lengths. Likely improver with winning claims.
