No. 6 Kinetic Sky (3-1) exits a nice optional-claiming victory in New York at seven panels for Rick Dutrow. He handles this distance and might work out a decent stalking trip at a hint of a price.
No. 2 Offaly Cool (2-1) chased wide over a speed-favoring wet track in the Grade 2 Cigar Mile on Dec. 2, and he ended up splitting a 12-horse field at 44-1 odds that day. The early-pressing sophomore gelding reconnects with his winning rider Kendrick Carmouche.
No. 7 Be Better (5-2) was along for the show as the beaten favorite in the Richard Small Stakes on Nov. 25. He likes this oval and does some of his best work at 1 1/16 miles.
No. 8 Magic Michael (5-1) steps up in class after back-to-back local wins in the optional-claiming ranks. He will try to get involved from off the pace.
