(# 12) DETROIT'S DANCER - Sprinted in last at a higher price-tag, trainer Dan Smithwick sends gelding a distance of ground today. Has faced better all season on the turf, but he is 3 for 5 on this surface, and a pair of them has been at two-turns. Takes these with an alert break.

(# 7) Cupid's Honour - Does well at this price, and he's another stretching out off of a sprint. Has been racing in starter allowances and has fared reasonably well.

(# 1) Chief Tudor - Good effort on Nov.25th finishing 3rd after returning here from Louisiana. Fits well at this $5000 tag and at age 10 can still bring a pretty good race.

(# 9) Bali Warrior - Owns a pair of wins on this course, and his return race after 2 months on the sidelines was encouraging. Closer can impact these late, and the faster the pace the better.
