JUST BECAUSE (2) looks close to a win after finishing in the placings at the last couple of runs, the latest when second over 7f at Delta Downs. Terrific chance to break through. CAJUN BLAST (5) finished fifth last start over 6½f at Delta Downs (Dirt) after racing on the pace for much of the way. Rates highly and expected to go well. FOE (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 21 lengths when seventh in a 1m1/4f contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. PALMISANO (7) has not raced since his debut on November 24 over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when he finished seventh, beaten 26 lengths. One of the main chances with the blinkers coming off.
