AIR COMBAT (5) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 4 lengths over 5½f at Woodbine. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best figures should see him run well. AVANT GLORY (2) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.3 lengths at this track (Dirt). Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Edgar Perez stays on. Among the leading chances. NOTAH (4) was last at the races when he finished 11th over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on October 30. Worth plenty of thought. SMOOTH FLYIN MIKE (6) failed to threaten when fresh from a lay-off last time out, beaten 10 lengths into fifth over 1m at this track (Dirt).
