TRUE CONNECTION (5) is still a maiden after nine starts. Could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 1m at this track (Dirt) following a minor placing at this track (Dirt) when fresh from a lay-off the run prior. Well placed this line-up and might be his day. GOOD AS HE GETS (1) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1m at this track (Dirt) on November 29. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. SCOTTISH STORM (2) resumes from a lay-off of three months and is having his first outing under new trainer Linda Rice. Finished fourth at Keeneland (Dirt) over 6½f at the opening run last time in work. Can measure up at the first run for a new barn. BAD BOY BUTCH (7) was narrowly beaten into second when second up last start at this track (Dirt) over 1m. Should be nearing his peak at this stage of the campaign.
