FASTER (2) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 2.75 lengths over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). That continued the good form this campaign, with four wins and four minor placings from 12 starts. Top chance again. HARD MISSION (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Synthetic) over 1673m. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BURNIN TURF (6) went forward over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) last time but found one better. Goes well at this journey with five wins and two placings from eight starts and is one of the prime contenders. JIMMY THE HAT (5) last appeared when he finished fourth over 1710m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) on December 18. One to consider.
