SNOWNAME (5) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 2.75 lengths back in third over 1308m at this track (Synthetic). Nicely placed to go a couple better. RIDING A DREAM (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. PASCHAL MOON (8) is having his first run since winning by half a length two weeks ago over 1106m at this track. Has transferred to the J Michael Rogers stable over the break. Can make his presence felt. LOUISIANIMAL (7) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 2.75 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Should camp just off the leaders. Solid claims on best form.
