DRAGON DREW (9) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 6f at this track (Synthetic), finishing 9 lengths back in tenth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. CONTACT TRACING (1) finds it hard to win with three victories from 30 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 6f at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. MARATHONER (5) did little and finished 8 lengths from the winner in eighth over 6½f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at Parx the run before. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. MCVICKER (4) lines up for the first time since October 13. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 5f at Hawthorne. One to consider.
