Verdict

SPACE X (6) was out of the money two runs back then, again missed the frame last start over 1 ¼m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth. Meets a similar field, and he has the ability to test this field. DAHIS (8) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths starting at $7. He is peaking at the right time and can figure in the top 3 here. SHAHEEN (3) finished second last start over 1 ¼m at this track, beaten a neck. He goes close to winning this. ZOMAAN (10) finished 3.5 lengths away in fifth at his last appearance over 1 ¼m at this track on November 28. Suited in this lineup and is among the better hopes.
