TAPRIXIE (2) finished eighth over 5½f at Laurel Turf (Turf) at her most recent appearance on October 18. Expect her to play a major role. LA TREMENDA (3) is back from a break of ten weeks. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when seventh over 6f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Looks a winning chance while fresh. PADRINO'S GOLD (7) was well fancied on the back of some solid performances but ran below expectations last time out when fifth over 7f at this track (Dirt). Has managed three minor placings from four runs at this circuit. Expected to run well. GO GO STAR (1) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 5½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 2. 75 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. In the right race and is a top-three hope.
