UPSTANDING (3) has been in the placings four times from four starts in this maiden campaign, the latest as favourite over 7f at Aqueduct (Dirt) when 4.5 lengths from the winner. Looks the testing material. PADIDDLE (5) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1m2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has ability and is a solid chance. EDGY (4) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 6f at this track (Dirt) in a tougher race. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so another top-three finish is on the cards. WE LIVE THIS GAME (7) finished 3.5 lengths away in sixth at his last appearance over 1m at this track (Turf) on November 30 after he gave away a big start. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
