BATTLE CRUISER (4) broke his maiden four starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 5 lengths into third over 1m at this track (Dirt). Among the major hopes. WHITE MOUNTAIN (6) recorded a strong maiden win over 1m at this track (Dirt) last time, getting there by 4 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be discounted. ASMODEUS (10) is returning from a lay-off of three months. Finished fifth at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 1m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Peter Miller. Can measure up at the first run for a new barn. VALENTINES CANDY (2) could only manage fourth on dirt over 7f at this track in a then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1m at this track more recently. Better than recent form suggests and worth including back on dirt.
