MIGHTY ATLAS (6) returned from a spell six weeks ago when he was beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 1710m at this track. Has a very strong second up record. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. SIR EXTON (2) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 12 lengths into fifth over 1710m at Fairgrounds. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HUGE BIGLY (13) last appeared six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1811m at this track when he finished seventh. This is his first run for the Steven Asmussen stable. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal. ULTIMATE STRIKE (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on December 4, finishing tenth and beaten 15 lengths over 2012m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Can make his presence felt.
