LAKE BEE (4) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 6 lengths win over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. CRAKEN JAX (3) went fast early over 6f at Fairgrounds (Dirt) last time and defied all challengers to score by 6 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. CLASSIC RICK (5) is a promising type who finished in the placings over 6½f at Remington Park (Dirt) at his last appearance on October 13. Has never been out of the placings when resuming from two tries. Should camp just off the leaders. One to consider. SAFARINFAS (6) was easily accounted for when fifth last start over 6f at Fairgrounds, beaten 7 lengths after a good win on debut at Remington Park. Worth another chance.
