RAPTURE BAY (3) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just 0.3 lengths away in second over 1m1/2f at this track after being prominent from the outset. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. MEHLEK (8) has not appeared since he finished third over 1m1/2f at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic) on December 14. One of the genuine hopes in the race. CATHOLIC JACKIE (6) turned in a nice run last time to finish third over 6½f at this track. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is all set to build on that latest effort. ANSELMO (7) is back at the races for the first time since December 5. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 1m1/2f at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
