VODKA VODKA (8) lifted strongly to score by half a length two runs back in Listed grade at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) then ran second over 1m2f in the G1 Santa Anita Handicap (Dirt) last time in tougher grade. K Desormeaux who has four wins when partnering stays on. Sure to play a big role. HEROIC MOVE (5) won over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at Zia Park (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on November 25. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. MALARCHUK (4) is a five-year-old entire who is having his first run for the M W McCarthy barn. Finished off last campaign with a win at Saratoga (Dirt) nine months ago. Not seen at the trials but goes well fresh from a lay-off, filling a placing three times from five runs. Should feature in the finish. BEARINGS (6) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 2. 5 lengths from the winner in third over 1m at this track (Dirt). Guillermo Rodriguez who has two wins when partnering stays on. Strips fitter and deserves respect.
