Race Analysis
FAST AND FRIENDLY (6) has won three from four and is unbeaten in two runs this campaign, including a victory over the same distance last start. In top form and expected to go close again. IRONCLAD ALIBI (9) is overdue for a win with two recent placings, the latest finishing second over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt), and is down in the weights this time. Angel I Diaz has registered two minor placings when on board. Sure to play a big role. GRAY DAY (7) is back at the races for the first time since September 30. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 6f at Mahoning Valley. Yet to win when resuming but generally runs well with two minor placings from four tries. Can make his presence felt. SPECIALIZED (8) returns from a lay-off of five-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when sixth over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Strong record with Erik Barbaran aboard, including five wins. Worth including in calculations.
