ROTARY DIAL (3) finished second two runs back at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 1.75 lengths as public elect over 5½f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Nicely placed to make it two on the bounce. ONE PUTT RICHIE (5) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 1.75 lengths over 5f at this track (Dirt). Will be better for that latest run and he looms as a significant threat. EMPTY HOLSTER (7) finished second over 6½f at Delta Downs (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on December 13. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. ALIBI IKE (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6f at Mahoning Valley, beaten 4 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
