FIERCENESS (4) resumes. After filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep in the g1 breeders' cup classic at del mar (dirt) over 1m2f on november 2. John R Velazquez who has four wins when partnering stays on. Should be hard to stop. LOCKED (2) is in top form including an effortless 8 lengths win over 1m2f in the G1 Santa Anita Handicap (Dirt) last time. Should measure up again. HALL OF FAME (3) is racing well, scoring in a in the G3 Mineshaft Stakes at Fairgrounds (Dirt) before finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1m1f in the G2 New Orleans Handicap at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. One of the main contenders. KATONAH (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m2f at Meydan Dirt, beaten 13 lengths into tenth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
