BORN NOBLE (8) resumes after a break of 11 months. Hoping for a repeat of his debut win over 7f at this track to kick off last prep. Best fresh figures put him right in this. CLASSIFY (5) is ready to break through after collecting his 6th minor placing in a row last time over 6½f at Aqueduct (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Settles close to the speed. Has the talent to produce another positive result. GREAT LILO (7) turned in a fine effort to win by 5.5 lengths at this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Looks well placed so expect another big run. PAY ZONE (3) is back at the races for the first time since October 19. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 7f at this track. Makes plenty of appeal.
