WARRIOR RICHARD (3) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. WRITE OFF JERRY (5) finished third two runs back at this track (Turf) then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Jose Ortiz scored on him last time and retains the ride. Meeting a tougher field but on current form he is capable of another big performance. RISK MANAGER (8) reunites with Jareth Loveberry after scoring with ease over 1m at this track (Turf) last time. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and two minor placings from four outings. Expected to be competitive. BREAKING ALONE (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on December 19 when beaten 5 lengths into fourth at this track (Turf) over 1m after he gave away a big start. Best figures measure up nicely. Can play a significant role.
