LITTLE RICHIE (5) raced on pace for much of the way before fading in the straight to finish sixth, beaten 13 lengths, over 6½f here last time. Expected to do much better. LAST PARTY (6) last appeared on December 6 when a good fifth over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.25 lengths. One of the genuine hopes in the race. SPYDYLEGS (4) was well in commission last start over 4½f at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 5.5 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. LORD CLANCY (2) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 8 lengths, at his latest appearance over 6½f at this track (Dirt). No surprise if he figured in the finish.
