LUV TO WIN (2) finished fifth two runs back at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 6f at this track (Synthetic). Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. GROUNDED (6) lines up for the first time since February 25. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Has a solid when resuming record of two wins and two placings from five starts. Sure to make his presence felt. CROSSTOWN SHOOTOUT (4) had been in sparkling form winning three races on end but missed the frame most recently when fourth over 5f at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic). Has a solid record at this circuit. One of the contenders. SAINT GOAR (3) got the cash over 6½f at this track (Synthetic) at his most recent appearance on October 10. Lines up. For the first time for trainer michael c pappada. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
