SICILIAN DEFENSE (1) showed good early dash at the first run after a lay-off last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 1.3 lengths away in second over 1m1f at Churchill Downs (Turf). Sure to go well. STORM READY (3) resumed over 1m1f at Churchill Downs (Turf) where he showed little early speed but got home nicely to finish fifth, beaten 1.75 lengths. Nicely placed and expected to go well. INITIALIZE (6) was solid on debut last start when beaten 5 lengths into seventh over 1m1/2f at Keeneland (Turf) on October 24. Open to improvement and looks a contender. THE JIG IS UP (5) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 0.4 lengths back in third over 1m1/2f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf). Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of another big run.
