CANDY CANE CRAIN (6) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 7 lengths into third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best figures should see him run well. PRIME SUSPECT (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1207m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. RECKLESS (12) is back after a break of three months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Among the chances while fresh. WICKED GUN (8) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 10 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Appeals as a top-four contender.
