MACKADOO (5) scored a 3 length win on synthetic in a at Turfway Park but was less effective on the turf when unplaced at Fairgrounds Turf over 1m1/2f five-and-a-half weeks ago. Tough to beat back on the dirt. Worth another chance. ROTHKO (4) is a progressive four-year-old entire who resumes from a break of ten weeks, his last appearance being a win over 1m at this track (Dirt) at his only run of that campaign. Goes well when fresh including a win and one minor placings. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. MAXIMUM PROMISE (3) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on December 4, finishing fifth and beaten 3. 5 lengths over 1m2f at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. VAMOS CARLITOS (6) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 11 lengths from the winner in third over 1m1/2f at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
