RANGER BATTALION (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well. CAPTAIN EDDIE (11) showed ability at his only start back on December 6 when second over 5f at this track (Turf). Has a wide gate to overcome but is among the leading chances. MULTIVERSE (1) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 7f at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. CRUDO (5) is a first-starter by Justify from Blossomed who has been a prolific producer including a winner at the elite level. Hails from the strong juvenile stable of Todd Pletcher. Promising type who is one to keep a close eye on in betting.
