N Y RIESLING (7) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 8 lengths away in fourth last time out over 4½f at this track when fresh from a lay-off. Steps up in distance. Should camp just off the leaders. Leading contender. BERT BERT BERT (2) has not appeared since he finished third over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) on November 15. Comes here with definite claims. CAPE COD GEM (4) is back after a break of six-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 5½f at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect. UNCLE VIC (5) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 4½f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well.
