JOHNNY UP (2) was a dominant winner last time at Canterbury Park (Dirt) over the same distance. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Best figures should see him run well. BREAKING NEWS (10) went forward over 6f at this track (Dirt) last time and held on for second. Will be looking to cross and steady the tempo. Form here at the trip is sound with three wins and four minor placings from eight runs. Expected to be in the finish. MCVICKER (4) could only manage fifth last start over 5½f at this track (Turf), beaten 6 lengths. Has a very good record here including three wins from six starts. Should be competitive. CHRISTMAS PRESENT (5) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by 1.75 lengths last time out over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). In the mix.
