LUCKY DUDE (7) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on December 31 over 1308m when he got home by 2.75 lengths. Has the ability to figure prominently. LASSO (1) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1308m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. GRAHMALAMADINGDONG (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 13 lengths when sixth in a 1308m contest at this track a month ago. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. SPOTTED BULL (4) improved sharply last time out to score by 4 lengths over 1207m at Laurel (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling.
