CANTUCCI (2) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1207m at Mountaineer Park after being in contention on the corner. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to take this out. KIDDIE HOLIDAY (6) returns from a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Scored over 1308m at this track at the start of last prep. Should be hard to stop. BINGO'S GRIND (4) was last at the races when he won over 1308m at this track on October 20. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins and two placings. Now under the care of new trainer Michael Cohen. Worth plenty of thought. IF YOU INSIST (1) finished tenth over 1710m at Woodbine All Weather at his most recent appearance on November 21. Has never missed the frame at this course, including four wins and two placings. One to consider.
