CAPE TRAFALGAR (2) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 25/01/2025, finishing seventh and beaten 18 lengths over 1m in the G3 Fred W. Hooper Stakes at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Looks a winning chance. PURE PANIC (3) was a narrow winner by half a length at Turfway Park (Synthetic) in a then third at Listed level at Turfway Park (Synthetic) last time. Down in the weights on last run. Alexis Achard who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Expecting a bold showing. CRITICAL THREAT (1) was last at the races when he finished fifth over 7f at Aqueduct (Dirt) on January 30. Can make his presence felt. TAGLIATELLE (5) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 8 lengths over 6f at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Should be poised just off the lead. Solid claims on best form.
