GORDITO HERMOSO (6) returns from a layoff of four months. Scored over 5½f at this track at the start of last prep. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. CRIGLER (7) could only manage seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6½f at Delta Downs, beaten 5 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. COLT'S BRIM (3) is back at the races for the first time since September 2. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 6f at this track. Has to be respected. MALAKI EMPIRE (1) returns from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months and did win when resuming last time in work over 7f at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Can make his presence felt while fresh.
