YO DADDY (8) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1m1f at this track (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PADDINGTON (12) has his first try on a turf track. Finished second when resuming at Aqueduct then was fourth and beaten 8 lengths over 1m1f at Aqueduct last time. Should camp just off the leaders. Will prove tough to beat. KING OF COMEDY (2) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when sixth over 1m at Aqueduct (Turf) after he settled well back. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in and is sure to be about the mark. OVER AND OLLIE (3) is coming along nicely this prep, scoring by 2 lengths last start over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Well placed to feature in the finish again.
