GROUP HUG (4) has switched yards since finishing second three-and-a-half weeks ago over 6f at this track. Winning chance for the new barn. MISTERCHILLIWILLI (5) is ready to break through after collecting his 5th minor placing in a row last time over 5½f at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Has good early pace. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CALZONE (1) finished fourth over 1m at Canterbury Park (Turf) at his most recent appearance on September 13. Has to be respected. HELLO SUCKER (2) missed the frame first time out on turf at this track then again on turf and again out of the placings, finishing seventh at this track over 1m when beaten 4 lengths. Can bounce back returning to the dirt.
