SALT SPRAY (12) is a promising entire yet to miss the frame in two starts, including a win. Has not been produced since he got the prize over 5½f at Churchill Downs on September 14. Should be prominent from the outset. Leading contender. JEFE DE OBRA (7) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 8 lengths away in fourth over 6½f at Del Mar (Dirt) on December 2. Has never been out of the placings when resuming from two tries. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. CHAPLIN (1) recorded a strong maiden win over 5f at Gulfstream Park (Turf) last time, getting there by 1.5 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Inside draw will assist and he is a solid top-three hope. DEMOLITION DUKE (3) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5½f at Fairgrounds (Turf), beaten a nose. Fitter for that run. In the mix.
