LEGITIMATE TARGET (2) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 7½f at this track (Turf), scoring by 1.75 lengths. Can go on with it. CAROOM (13) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Now under the care of new trainer L Rivelli. Capable of playing a major role. RIGHTHERE RIGHTNOW (11) finished tenth over 1m4f at Keeneland (Turf) at his most recent appearance on October 16. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. THE PADDOCK PASTOR (6) finished a 10 length eighth on turf at Laurel in a then followed up with a minor placing on dirt at this track over 1m1/2f six weeks ago. Looks a definite top-three contnder again.
