#5 RICHARD RONALD (9-2) is adding blinkers and figures to be aggressively handled. He was part of the pace in his first three starts and ran well each time. He did not get involved early in his last pair, and was flat both times. He almost has to go this time under his new pilot Florent Geroux.
#2 X Clown (7-2) was not nearly as sharp in his last two longer races. He was pretty good in his first three outings at 5f, 5.5f, and 6f.
#3 No Quarter (5-1) set the pace and was 2nd to a runaway winner in his local bow Nov. 28. Sharp trainer Ron Faucheux excels with the blinkers off move.
