RIDE THIS TRAIN looked very good when scoring over a mile here last month and there should be plenty more to come from this one. Keepinyourchinup has been in fine form himself of late, and is feared most ahead of Bayou St John.
Dual distance winner JOHNNY UTAH found things happening too quickly when finishing unplaced over the extended 5f here last time but improvement is expected now he steps back up in trip. Hustle Hard bids to land a C&D double and is considered the main threat though grade-dropper R Dirteater has to be respected, too.
BEARS GRACE is hard to oppose following her highly impressive success at this venue last month. She has been going great guns of late and can win again. Sweet Boo and Tammy's Choice are others to consider for any combination bets.
RISING CREEK kept on well at the finish when second over 6f here earlier in the month and is expected to improve now upped in distance. Mr. Elkhorn, who was fourth behind the selection latest, enters calculations again along with Just Like Ashley, who makes some appeal on her course second over a route on Boxing Day.
REAL LUCK is going great guns at present and was most impressive when successful here last month. He can go in again but might face a stern challenge from Its On Fire, who should be cherry ripe now, and recent second Big Flirt.
AWESOME SWIRL opened her account over track and trip in December and should mount another bold bid with plenty appearing in her favour once again. My Lil Anto drops in grade and has a shout along with Good Gosh, who landed minor money over track and trip when last sighted.
Nothing much to write home about here but A TOUCH OF HUMOR should go close if reproducing the form of her third over 5 1/2f here last time. Love The Minister and Tour The Town might prove the pick of the remainder.
ANGELSMADISONGRACE might only need to reproduce the form of his second over track and trip last time to come out on top in this modest maiden. My Stars was two and a quarter lengths back in third that day and should be in there pitching again while Goldspringseternal is another worth noting.
