EGLISE (3) started at 15/8 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 18 lengths at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BEDARD (2) is back at the races for the first time since October 17. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 1m1/2f at Woodbine. Now under the care of new trainer B H Cox. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. SHATTUCK (7) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1m1/2f at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. MONEYSHOT (5) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last time over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 4 lengths. Must be respected.
