THREE ZERO (3) has switched yards since finishing fifth six-and-a-half weeks ago over 6f at this track. Shapes well and a bold showing is expected. NEWPORT BRIDGE (1) is back at the races for the first time since October 15. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 5½f at Saratoga. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. RED D G P (5) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 10 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 6f at this track. Finds the right race this time and can find the winner's circle. GUN MAESTRO (9) has been racing well without winning. Last start finished third, beaten 5 lengths, over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has a strong record at this distance so he is sure to make his presence felt.
