SMUGGLER'S GOLD (6) produced a reasonable effort when second last start after being in contention on the bend over 6f at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. LIKE WHAT I SEE (4) was well fancied but below his best at the last run before a break on 25/10/2024, finishing fifth over 5½f at Laurel (Turf). Starts this prep with Isaac Castillo taking charge. Should be prominent from the low draw. Will play a major role. VESPARO (3) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race when fresh from a lay-off last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 0.5 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) after being in contention on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MICRO BREWSKY (2) was in contention on the bend and finished third last time over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf), beaten a head. Will trim down following recent racing. Capable of another strong performance.
