SPIN DOCTOR (10) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fourth in a 1m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago after being in the firing line on the bend. The engagement of Alexander Chavez is noteworthy. Has the class to take care of this field. UPGRADE AL (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fourth over 6f at this track six-and-a-half weeks ago after being in contention on the bend. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. KID RUSSELL (4) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 14 lengths when tenth in a 5½f contest at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to take this out. BEAT THE DEALER (7) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
