BABA LOOEY (3) started at 10/11 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 5½f. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SPIN DOCTOR (1) has not appeared since he finished fifth over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) on December 4. Lines up. For the first time for trainer michelle winters. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. MUCHO PRIMO (4) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 5½f at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GIFT OF OAK (7) was beaten 7 lengths into eighth over 5½f at this track at his latest appearance. Capable of featuring prominently.
