HEY RIVER (5) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a seventh at Charles Town (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by 3 lengths last time out after being in the firing line on the corner over 1408m at Parx (Dirt). Edwin Gonzalez gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MAYHEMINTHEPALACE (1) was last at the races when he finished eighth over 1408m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) on October 11. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. CONSPIRACY FACT (2) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1710m at this track (Dirt), finishing 8 lengths back in seventh. This is a nice drop in grade so he will be hard to beat. NORFIE (3) turned in a fine effort to win by 2.25 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.

Is first-up after a break of five months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation eighth of 10 at Gulfstream Park October 11 over 1408m, 14 len behind Keep On Moving carrying 55kg at $24.50. Previously first up; ran last of 7 at Gulfstream Park All Weather March 20 2024 over 1006m, 9 len behind Mr Narcissistic with 54.5kg at $13.20. Could prove too smart for these.
