Group 3 placegetter LIL PERRY WAGON (11) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1f130yards at this track (Dirt), scoring by half a length. Fitter for that last hitout and is clearly the one they have to beat. PHUNATIC (12) finished off the last campaign with a win over 2½f at Will Rogers Downs (Dirt) on November 5. Returns from the break for a new yard. Goes well when fresh with a win and one minor placings from three starts. Capable of taking this out. TICKLE THIS IVORY (7) fought on well to finish third last start over 1½f at this track (Dirt), beaten a neck when fresh from a lay-off. Likely improver with strong prospects. AJ PRINCE (1) returned from a lay-off four weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the bend before being beaten 1.75 lengths into fifth over 1f180yards at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
