SHOOT THE NICKEL (5) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third over 6f at Fairgrounds (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. EXECUTIVE ORDER (2) is a talented gelding who tackled a tougher race at his last run on December 7 and finished seventh behind Tony Eclipse over 7f in Listed grade at Laurel (Dirt). Well placed in this company. ENDURING SPIRIT (7) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.75 lengths. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. GOOD QUESTION (4) was an impressive winner last time over 6½f at this track (Dirt), stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 2 lengths. Should give a great sight.
