LIFE IS PRECIOUS (5) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 7f at this track (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle. WHISKEY PARK (1) has not raced since he finished eighth over 1m1/2f at Gulfstream Park on October 12. Well placed and should be tough to beat. SAN COSTANTINO (2) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when third, beaten 5 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 7f. Among the leading chances. PRIVATE DESIRE (6) is a four-year-old entire who is having his first run for the Gregory D Sacco stable. Resumes after finishing tenth in the G2 Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct (Dirt) at his last run 13 months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. One of the main chances.
