#1 ENLIVEN (6-5) has every advantage as the chalk. She breaks from the advantageous inside post and has speed in a race without much early zip. She owns ascending numbers and is bred to handle today’s added ground. She projects a ground saving forwardly placed trip and could easily make the grade for the productive Bravo/McLaughlin team.


#4 Positive Spirit (6-1) earned improved late speed in all three starts and should like this longer trip. Brisset excels with his recent graduates trying winners for the first time.


#3 Filly Joel (7-2) earned an improved number in her maiden win at 8.5f Oct. 25.
