VIVIR CON ALEGRIA (3) finished off last campaign with a sixth over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on November 3 and has since switched stables. Goes well when resuming from a lay-off, including three minor placings from six starts. Ready for a bold showing. CONTRABANDISTA (8) followed an unplaced effort when resuming two runs back with a second last start over 1m1/2f at this track after being in contention on the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. GRANADA FLAVOR (11) settled well back and never threatened when beaten 29 lengths into sixth last time out over 1m at this track (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement. DRIFTER (7) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Remington Park but raced below expectations last time over 1m at this track (Dirt), finishing ninth and beaten 10 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
