Group 2 winner WORLD RECORD (2) is a talented colt who was tested in tougher class last time when sixth over 7f in the G1 H Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt). Is going well this campaign, recording two wins from five starts. Should prove tough to beat. AGOO (7) resumed over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and looks a big threat to the top selection. Group 2 placegetter SLIDER (9) resumes. After filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep in grade 2 class at santa anita (dirt) over 7f on january 6. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give backers a great sight. BAXLEY (1) had been in great form winning three on end before missing the frame last time when sixth over 1m1f in stakes class at Hawthorne (Turf). Drops back in journey this time. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Not to be discounted.
