#7 SPEAK UP drops in class once again while given a FLOW Upgrade coming back from the 11/6 event. The change in class comes with the cutback in distance, near similar with the extended sprint they broke their maiden at back on 5/29. They would need to run back to a similar number, as that figure sits on par, and as good a time as any with the meet starting to wind down. 

#1 KIMBERLINA wheels back from a legitimate EX - EXCUSE from the race three weeks ago noting the TACTIC- playing a role in the TRAFFIC TROUBLE along with NO_PUSH late to IMPROVE off of. Looking at the Plot they can find the right pace to chase as a Large Q4 Square, though does still need some price compensation with the off-the-pace projected run and shorter 5.5f distance. 

While #3 PRINCECREST is still maiden class eligible they fit right in with today's group. Their debut effort in against open company recorded a solid figure while breaking SLOG against the dynamic (Slow early/Very Slow late) controlled by eventual winner and today's rival, #4 BIG TIME BOSS. The connections stepping up PRINCECREST in their next start, the $250k stakes just two weeks later recording a B_ OptixGRADE and even improved speed figure. The timing of those two starts noted wheeling right back on 10/26 behind another Very Slow early/late pace (stablemate Deputy Curlin the pacesetting winner) showing a WIDE MOVE in that 4th place outcome. Again the placement shows confidence as they should hold their conditioning while looking for an improved outcome.
