HAMMER (5) is back from a lay-off of five months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 5½f at Laurel (Dirt). Expected to go very well. UNCLE CHINITO (6) was a gutsy winner two runs back then ran fourth over 4½f at this track (Dirt) on November 7. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and two minor placings from six starts. Best form puts him right in this. PINK DINGHY (7) is racing well. Scored at this track (Dirt) in a then finished second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 6½f at this track (Dirt) at the latest appearance two-and-a-half weeks ago. Sound record at this distance with four wins and six minor placings from 15 runs and has to be respected. MO MOSCATO (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 6½f at this track. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
