UNION COACH (2) turned in a modest performance when sixth last time out over 5½f at this track, beaten 7 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. The engagement of Manuel Americano is noteworthy. Has the ability to figure prominently. DIAMOND DEE (6) lines up for the first time since October 13. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 6f at this track. Has switched to the Eliana Thompson yard. Rates highly and should take some beating. HOT JAMMIES (3) made progress last time out, finishing 2. 5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 4½f at this track after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. GUIDE MY STEPS (7) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when tenth, beaten 9 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 5½f. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
