No. 1 In Spades (5-1) earned quality speed ratings in his last two sharp efforts in local dirt routes. He figures to save all the ground from the inside post and might offer a hint of value.
No. 3 Rhumjar (2-1) romped in a local dirt route at 4-1 odds on Dec. 13. He is the favorite this time and should make his presence felt from the outset.
No. 4 Caughtandcollected (3-1) chased and faded in a disappointing effort in a similar local route on Dec. 26. He ran well in back-to-back dirt routes prior to his last and might bounce back in this spot. He should be forwardly placed.
No. 5 Beyond Best (4-1) clearly was second best in a similar local dirt route on Dec. 26. He might not get enough pace help to set up his last charge.
