TROTSKY (5) put the writing on the wall last start when he was always up in the leading division and was beaten just 0. 2 lengths into third over 1m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. TAVERN TIME (2) has been in the money at both runs this time in, the latest effort a second over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Should appreciate the extra ground. Among the major players. REAL MEN VIOLIN (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on January 8 when beaten 0. 7 lengths into fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1m after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better. PARTY WITH SMARTY (1) has switched yards since scoring by 0. 8 lengths at Aqueduct over 6½f on December 26.
