PALACE VIEW (5) built on a nice third two starts back at this track (Turf) with success over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic) a month ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LORD OF WAR (6) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on December 23 finishing ninth and beaten 22 lengths over 1m2f at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Yet to win this track and distance but has recorded three minor placings from four attempts. A bold showing is likely. SMART STRIKER (2) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last time over 1m1/4f at this track (Synthetic) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 3 lengths. In the right race and is a winning hope. OCALA DREAM (8) finished 7 lengths adrift in seventh last time over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) in a disappointing performance. Nicely placed to make amends.
