HICKO (8) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on September 27, finishing sixth and beaten 17 lengths over 1106m at Remington Park (Dirt). Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. TASK (12) was prominent from the outset when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best figures should see him run well. FOUR O NINE (10) looks to kick off this prep the way he ended the last ten months ago when he scored over 1207m at this track. Right in the contest. BOTE (9) didn't fire over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run prior. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up.
