MARIACHI (3) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on November 9 when second, beaten 2.25 lengths. This is his optimum trip with four wins from eight starts and is among the leading chances. ACOUSTIC AVE (1) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt) over 6f, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Record at this journey is impressive with four wins and four placings from 10 runs and is a key runner. COLD AS HELL (2) improved last start to finish third over 6f at this track after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SPUN AND WON (5) showed good speed to stalk the pace before drawing clear to score by a nose over 6½f here last time out. Record at this track is strong. Worth considering.
