DUNDIE (9) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1408m at this track (Dirt) last time. Form here at this trip is sound. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. PAYNTED WARRIOR (4) showed good early dash at the first run after a spell last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 2 lengths away in third over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish again. GUAPO AGAIN (6) finished third over 1207m at Penn National (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on December 13 2024. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Juan Carlos Avila. Worth plenty of thought. OLD TOWN ROAD (2) was well in the market first up from a spell last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) but was safely held in ninth, beaten 13 lengths. Worth noting his strong second-up record. Solid contender in this line up.
