BEARINGS (3) is back at the races for the first time since November 25. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1609m at Saratoga. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. BENDER (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third in stakes class at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. LISTENTOTHEMUSIC (4) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 2 lengths last time out over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. WHAT A DUDE (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 11 lengths into seventh. Capable of featuring prominently.
