CHARLIE LIGHTNING (3) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ALYANAABI (1) went forward last start over 6f at Fairmount Park (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten a nose. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be underestimated. GRAPHENE CASSOCK (2) was on a winning run of two races but last time out missed the frame when sixth over 6f at Prairie Meadows (Dirt). Can bounce straight back. CHRISTMAS PRESENT (4) improved sharply last time out to score by 1.75 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago. Finds a suitable race and can feature prominently.
