GIGANTE (2) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.75 lengths over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four runs. Big chance once again. TAKING CANDY (8) is a progressive five-year-old entire who hasn't raced since finishing third over 1m at Churchill Downs (Turf) on November 17 which was the only run of that prep. Has two wins to his name when fresh from a lay-off. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Leading contender. UNIT ECONOMICS (3) ran on strongly only to just miss when when resuming as favourite last start over 1m1/2f at Gulfstream Park (Turf). Sure to derive great benefit from that run. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. RELAMPAGO VERDE (5) has been racing well this campaign on the dirt, finishing third when resuming at this track then scoring at this track over 1m1f two-and-a-half weeks ago. Goes up a notch this time but must be respected.
