ANGELICO (6) is a four-year-old colt who is having his first run for the Marco Ibarra stable. Scored at his latest appearance at Churchill Downs (Dirt) three months ago. Not seen at the trials but scored on debut to kick off the maiden campaign. Expected to go close. ORVILLE B (7) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 0.8 lengths away in second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. IPPOLITO'S WONDER (5) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 16 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. EAGLE NEST (4) has not raced since he scored on debut over 6f at this track on October 24. Capable of playing a big role.
