KAVANAUGH (6) has switched yards since scoring by 1.3 lengths at this track over 1609m on January 16. Can make an immediate impact for the new mentor. INDY RAGS (4) has been kept fresh since he resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 1811m at this track (Dirt). Record at this trip is excellent and is among the winning hopes again. SCAT TU TAP (1) resumed last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt) and showed little early speed, settling well back but hitting the line hard to finish third, beaten 3 lengths. One of the main contenders. BLAME IT ON DADDY (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on January 22 when beaten 32 lengths into sixth at this track (Dirt) over 1811m. Finds a nice race and can find winning form again.
