Group 3 placegetter ARISTOCRATIC (10) after a good return in a was out of the money more recently over 6f at Pimlico (Dirt). Fitter and well-placed to turn things around. CHARMED (8) last appeared on November 19 when a good fourth over 6f at this track (Turf), beaten 1.3 lengths, which was his only run of the campaign. Should be hard to stop. ZIP LINE TO HEAVEN (6) returns from a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Scored over 5f at Pimlico to launch the last campaign. Looks a strong top-three prospect. FREESTANDING (7) is back from a break of four months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when tenth over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has to be respected.
