AXEL STEEL (3) has been racing well this campaign, scoring last start over 5f at Delta Downs (Dirt) to make it four wins from four runs this time in. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Likely to feature. TOOMANYNAMES (2) is back from a lay-off after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 1m1/2f at Arapahoe Park on November 16. A B Ramos has been the pilot at his last two wins. Expecting a bold showing. SPIRIT'S MISCHIEF (5) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing fifth over 5½f at Keeneland (Turf) four-and-a-half months ago. Has never been out of the placings when resuming from two tries. Should park just off the speed. Winning claims on best figures. MYSTERIOUS TALE (6) is resuming from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months and having his first run for the Hair Gerald P Big yard. Was in the placings when when resuming from a lay-off last campaign at this track (Dirt) over 4f.
