THIRD DEGREE (12) returned last time with a solid second at this track (Synthetic) over 1m after being in contention on the turn. Has the ability to break through. MIYAGI (14) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 15 lengths into 11th over 6f at this track. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. TIE BREAKER LENNIE (9) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. SPUNS SON (3) last appeared on October 24 when a good fourth over 1m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf), beaten 2.25 lengths. Sure to make his presence felt.
