BRANDON BLVD (6) resumes after great success last prep, winning on seven occasions and culminating in a fourth over 1609m at Mohawk Park on October 24. Sure to be ready to run well. WATCH EM WIN (7) finished sixth last start, beaten 12 metres at Philadelphia over 1609m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expect him to be prominent.
