KERNESS K (6) is a talented gelding who tackled a tougher race at his last run on October 12 and finished seventh behind Do It For Michael over 6f in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Jamie Rodriguez sticks. Expecting a bold showing. SCHRADER (2) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 32 lengths when sixth in a 1m1/2f contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CHIPOTLE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 6f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. FEAR NOTHING (7) is a last-start winner four weeks ago, scoring by 11 lengths over 6f at this track. Hard to knock.
