    Race Analysis

    HE'S A GOOD DANCER (4) returns after a lay-off of four months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 6f at Presque Isle Downs. Comes here with definite claims. LUCKY CURLIN (5) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when seventh over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) after he travelled towards the rear of the field. Should be peaking now and is capable of sharp improvement. CHICO CHARLIE (1) returns after a lay-off of ten weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1m1/2f at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims. FUNKENSTEIN (8) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on October 18, finishing fifth and beaten 5. 5 lengths over 1m at Delaware Park (Dirt). One to consider.
