HEY RIVER (5) is progressing well this campaign. Opened with a seventh at Charles Town (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by 3 lengths last time out after being in the firing line on the corner over 7f at Parx (Dirt). Edwin Gonzalez gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MAYHEMINTHEPALACE (1) was last at the races when he finished eighth over 7f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) on October 11. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. CONSPIRACY FACT (2) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt), finishing 8 lengths back in seventh. This is a nice drop in grade so he will be hard to beat. NORFIE (3) turned in a fine effort to win by 2. 25 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
