GULFY (2) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. IMA BIG BAD WOLF (3) resumes from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed and expected to go well. MAGICSTRIKESAGAIN (6) stepped out for his debut over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) back on November 23 and finished eighth, beaten 13 lengths. One of the contenders with the blinkers added. FIRST BLESSING (1) is a five-start maiden who was in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third at the latest appearance over 1m at this track (Dirt). Reyluis Gutierrez stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Among the top-three hopes.
