PROVEN HOPE (8) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on December 19 over 1m1/2f when he got home by 4 lengths. Winning rider Isaac Castillo retains the mount. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AMERICAN DOLLARS (4) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 10 lengths when fifth in a 1m contest at this track five weeks ago. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. I'M YOUR MAN (7) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when eighth over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) after he travelled towards the rear of the field. Has further improvement to come and can turn things around. ALL IN SYNC (10) turned in a better run last start, beaten 2. 5 lengths into fourth over 1m1/2f at this track. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
