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.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Bobble/Stumble

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

Sloppy

A wet racetrack condition, typically with a firm base and water settling on top.
