AJAAYB (2) finished fourth over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on November 20. Now under the care of new trainer Victor Barboza Jr. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. LIFE IS PRECIOUS (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 3.5 lengths away in third over 1308m at this track (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BIG PARADISE (7) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1207m in stakes class at Gulfstream Park (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Sits handy in the run. Has the class to find the winners' list. ROAR OF THE BEAST (6) has been freshened up since he finished tenth over 1710m in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park (Turf) eight weeks ago. Better than last start and is a chance in this line up.
