COMMENTS: ALWAYS SHOPPING tied for the highest last race speed figure and is likely to be better in her second start off the bench. BEAUTIFUL LOVER finished third behind out top choice last out. A bullet work gives hope she can reverse the order today. SORREL has a bullet work since her last race, maybe its a sign shes ready to return to her England form. SISTER OTOOLE should be on of the horses coming the fastest at the end.

COMMENTS: ABAAN is a half-length from winning four in a row. TEMPLE finished in the money in 10 of 12 at Gulfstream Park. MEDIA BLITZ is making his second start after being claimed for Michael Maker, a 21% winner for the trainer. SOLE VOLANTE has some of the best late pace number and should be on the move at the end.

COMMENTS: JAKARTA has won six of nine on a fast track, including the highest, last race speed figure. DANCE DORO improved her 1-mile final time by almost a second in her last and could be better in her third start off the bench. JUST ONE TIME has won four of five races and the wins were blowouts. FOUR GRACES missed as the chalk in her last, trainer Ian Wilkes rebounds at 25% the next time around the track with a beaten favorite.

COMMENTS: SWEET MELANIA hit the board in six of seven at the distance and should be close to the pace all the way around the track. REGAL GLORY has six consecutive high quality starts and tends to run well in first starts after a layoff, like today. LADY SPEIGHTSPEARE is just 3/4 of a length from being undefeated in five races. SHIFTY SHE tied for the highest, last race speed figure and could be better in her second start after a layoff.

COMMENTS: FEARLESS just won a Grade III at Gulfstream with ease with his fourth win in five GP races, second in the other. LIAM has 18 furlongs of solid works since his last race on December 15th, should be fit. SPEAKERS CORNER is likely to be heavily bet and should be on/near the lead all the way around the track. SHIVAREE packs a strong late punch and should be too far off the early pace.

COMMENTS: COLONEL LIAM, the defending champ, is two for two at Gulfstream and at the distance. NEVER SURPRISED should be the speed of the speed. He won his last at Gulfstream in a romp from inside. The question is the outside post. FIELD PASS has 19 furlongs of works since January 2nd, most of which are solid, should be ready and fit. DOSWELL finished in the money four of four at Gulfstream and two of two at the distance.

COMMENTS: KNICKS GO is a year older than LIFE IS GOOD and probably a little faster out of the gate. We will give the nod to KNICKS GO. The danger is they burn fractions that are too fast, which would open the door to a closer and ENDORSED has the most consistently high late numbers in the field. Its a tough call between EMPTY TOMB and SIR WINSTON, the latter looks like he prefers an all-weather surface while ENDORSED likes dirt.
