FIERCE AND STRONG (2) scored by 2.75 lengths last time out over 1m1/2f in stakes class at this track (Turf). Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts five wins and one placing. Leading contender. PIT STOP MAN (5) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by 0.8 lengths over 5½f at Belterra Park (Dirt) last start. Sure to go well again. TUFF CONSTITUTION (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on October 25 finishing eighth and beaten 9 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). One to consider. NITRO TIME (1) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 5f at Delaware Park (Turf) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including four wins. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is likely to play a big role.
