WHERE'S RYDER (4) is risky at box rise but goes quickly in clear air and has a sizzling 23.34pb around here, should take plenty of beating. DISTANCE DRUMS (5) has been racing consistently of late without winning, should rush forward early and pose a threat again. TONY TARKS (2) was a last start maiden winner here in 23.68 and must be respected
