MR MARSHALL (1) scored in a at Woodbine but was below his best last time when seventh over 6f at Laurel (Dirt). Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. THREE POLKS (5) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished third at Churchill Downs (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by 9 lengths as favourite last time out over 6f at this track (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form she is one of the chief contenders. CATHEDRAL BEACH (8) resumes. After filling a minor placing at his last appearance at churchill downs (dirt) over 6f on november 6. Among the better hopes. PALM ISLAND (2) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt) over 6f, finishing seventh and beaten 4 lengths. Should park just off the speed. In the mix.
