HEADLINE NUMBERS (7) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 1.75 lengths away in fifth over 1m1f in the G2 Mother Goose Stakes at this track (Dirt) on October 26 which was the only run of that prep. Has won when fresh from a lay-off in the past. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Among the leading chances. KID'S LAST LAUGH (3) finished third when resuming two runs back at this track (Dirt) then progressed nicely last time out to score by 9 lengths over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. GOLDEN DEGREE (4) was comfortably accounted for when second last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being prominent at the corner. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. PROUD FOOT (9) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Solid claims.
