TAPIT SHOES (9) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1m1f at Churchill Downs (Turf), scoring by 1.3 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and is the testing material. LEADING CONTENDER (5) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 1m1f at Aqueduct (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. ARTHUR'S RIDE (1) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Less impressive last time out when ninth over 1m at Churchill Downs, beaten 23 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to bounce back to form. COSTA TERRA (4) resumes. After filling a minor placing at his last appearance at aqueduct (dirt) over 1m1 1/2f on december 10. Goes very well here having never been out of the placings. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
