MIDNIGHT MAMMOTH (1) returned from a five months break over 7f last start and got the job done by 0. 3 lengths at this track (Dirt). Has four wins here. Tougher company here but he is expected to run well. PONY EXPRESS (5) is a progressive five-year-old entire who hasn't raced since finishing second over 1m at Listed level at this track (Dirt) on October 25 which was the only run of that prep. Has scored when resuming from a lay-off before. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to be in the finish. GETAWAY CAR (3) was well-fancied when resuming last start but could only manage sixth, beaten 7 lengths, over 6½f at Del Mar (Dirt). Generally goes well with that run under the belt. Ready to find peak form this time. BARTHOLDY (4) showed good speed and fought on for third over 1m1/2f in the G2 Laffit Pincay Jr (San Antonio) Stakes at this track (Dirt) last time. Tyler Baze who has scored on him four times retains the mount. One of the better hopes.
