(# 8) ABISTRABI - Enters this on an upward swing. Scored at Mountaineer on Nov. 30 when he was placed first after a bumping incident in late stretch. Draws well and can stalk from very close range before taking command.

(# 7) Stadium - Speedy sort looks like the early leader of this field. Set a :45 pace on this course last out before tiring late.

(# 6) My Tune - Makes his first start for Marco Salazar after being with Dave Hinsley. Gelding come into this off a early October layoff.

(# 5) Katzmetic - Good speed shown in return from a mid-October vacation. Scored here at this tag on Sept. 19. Has become a better racehorse since mid-year.
