(# 8) ANOTHER PUNCH - Vast improvement Nov 18 returning off a layoff and making 1st start for top trainer Dale Capuano. Broke from tough inside post in big field of 14. Broke slow then rushed up to chase a fast pace. Held very well late. Has a solid 5f breeze for this.

(# 3) Tizabird - Freshened up following a good 3rd place finish in Oct 21 debut. Raced wide all the way, closing 3 lengths in stretch to finish up in a quick :12 4/5 final 1/8th. Rider Fogelsonger sticks with her while jumping off my top pick.

(# 6) Snow On Snow - Finished behind top pick but was victimized by post 14 and a wide trip. Decent efforts in 1st 2 starts. Powerful trainer and rider combo.

(# 5) Tease - Had had several chances, but improvement expected 2nd start off a layoff, back on a dry track and a cut back in distance. Gets rider change to top pilot Pino.
