ELEVEN BRAVO (9) was never really in the hunt last time, drifting back early and winding up 39 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1m at this track (Dirt). Finds the right race and can get off the mark this time. EMPIRE RANCH (4) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished sixth over 1m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Good chance to break through. BACKSIDE (6) has not raced since his debut on November 16 over 7½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when he finished eighth, beaten 12 lengths. Improver who can feature in the finish. PRIVATE SHOW (3) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Thomas M Amoss yard. Finished off last campaign with a seventh at Keeneland (Dirt) four months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Not to be underestimated.
