SNOW BOUND (3) lines up for the first time since October 27. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Comes here with definite claims. GIMY A REASON (6) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1f130yards at this track. Credentials hard to knock. THREE STEP PLAN (1) returned from a lay-off eight days ago when he was beaten 0.8 lengths into fourth over 0½f at this track. Fitter and sure to run well. VAL CARUSO (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1f180yards at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth. No surprise to see him in contention.
