BACKFIRE (1) saluted at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in the firing line on the corner before finishing second over 6f at this track, beaten a nose. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. AIR CAV (5) is resuming from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months and having his first run for the Michael A Tomlinson yard. Was in the placings when when resuming from a lay-off last campaign in stakes class at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 6f. Key runner fresh from a break. TRIPLE TREA (2) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on October 10 finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths over 7f at Keeneland (Dirt). One to consider. CANDY CORN (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when seventh over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Has the class to produce a better result.
