MISTER GRINCH (5) went fast early over 4½f at this track (Dirt) last time and dug deep to score by 1. 3 lengths. Won't find this as tough so he is sure to prove hard to beat. THXLUVYABYE (2) has not appeared since he scored over 4½f at this track on January 7. Best form puts him right in this. TUP'S TO TAKE (1) was well in the market when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt) but was safely held in fifth, beaten 10 lengths. Should park just off the speed. Should be involved in the finish. DADIO (6) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 4½f at this track (Dirt), finishing 12 lengths from the winner in sixth. Has ability and shapes as a top-three chance.
