DOOMED (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m1f at Aqueduct, beaten 8 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. CHRISTMAS SPIRIT (5) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by 0. 1 lengths over 1m1/2f. Generally goes well here. Should run well. TASK FORCE (4) is back from a lay-off of four months. Scored a determined win at his final run last campaign at Charles Town (Dirt) over 1m1/2f. Definite top-three chance. ALBERT FINNIGAN (6) did a great job to score by 5 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose.
