THANKS FRANK (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on January 2, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. LITTLE VAQUERO (4) finished a 12 length sixth when resuming last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has never missed the placings at the second run back. Ready to find peak form this time. BUCKET LIST (2) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1106m at this track (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. FROSTY PAWS (9) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Another forward showing is anticipated.
