(# 8) DENEALDO - Comes here from Zia Park for a very high-percentage trainer, Jim Hill (29%). Very fast work over this surface on November 2. Bet in all three to date, and can take these all the way.

(# 12) Due to Fly - Drops to his lowest tag ever and goes third off a layoff. Ran well in return at Fairplex and had a decent race over this track against better. Very dangerous.

(# 2) Explodin'by U - Has been in the money in 6 of 11, and has an up-close running style, which in a large group of cheap maidens is a plus.

(# 4) Shiloh Dove - Last pair are encouraging and they came at this price tag over this surface.

(# 5) Tote the Bench - Drops off a return run against better at a distance. Holds a bit of a class advantage over some and may do well in here.
