FUNTASTIC VOW (4) lines up for the first time since October 28. Looking to emulate his win at this track when returning from a lay-off last prep. Has a strong when resuming record, scoring on two occasions from three starts. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. TEXAS FREE (13) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 2.75 lengths away in fourth over 5½f at this track (Dirt) on October 28. Has scored when resuming from a lay-off before. Should park just off the speed. Best figures should see him run well. ADIOS ASHWOOD (7) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Turfway Park (Synthetic), finishing second and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 1m. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. CHISEL (11) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 11/11/2024, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Among the better hopes.
