SMART CRY (8) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 9 lengths over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to figure in the outcome. IVYLEAGUEDROPOUT (4) missed the frame last time when fourth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on three consecutive occasions. Should park just off the speed. Will give a great sight. R SPECIAL (5) was sent out favourite last time when second over 5½f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Drops in weight. Should park just off the speed. Will give backers a great sight. SUBTLE STORM (1) is a promising type who finished in the placings over 6½f at this track (Dirt) at her last appearance on November 20 which was the only run of that campaign. Arnaldo Bocachica stays on. One of the better hopes.
