PERFECT DIAL (9) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fifth in a 6½f contest at Remington Park seven weeks ago. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. CAVANAL (7) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on November 14. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. LITTLE RANDY (3) was unplaced on debut then last start finished third over 5f at Delta Downs after being prominent at the turn. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. GEE NO HOLLANDER (5) was never really a threat on debut last start over 5½f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt), finishing 15 lengths from the winner in sixth. Better for that outing and is expected to run well.
