JOHN HALL (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at this track, beaten 9 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong prospects. MARK DID IT (1) was safely held when fifth last time out over 7f at this track, beaten 8 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has the class to figure prominently. OPTIMISTIC NATE (4) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Scored last time out over 4½f at this track (Dirt), making it three wins on the trot. Unbeaten here and is among the chances. MR MOX (8) finished 6 lengths from the winner in fifth last time out over 4½f at this track (Dirt) on December 11. Boasts a top record at this journey and is yet to miss the frame from four starts, including three wins and must be respected.
