(# 2) FOREST FEVER - Great race at Hawthorne on Nov. 8 at a $17,500 level. Stalked the pace and drew off handily. Gelding by "Forestry" started his career in the Todd Pletcher barn. Takes these from close range.

(# 12) Bello Papa - Ran well here last winter for Gerald Bennett. Came back in the fall at Presque Isle and did well. Draws a good slot and has been working steadily.

(# 6) Islandprospectbob - Smashing maiden win at Remington Park off a nine-month vacation. Son of "Suave Prospect" has the best last race of any. Tested for class today.

(# 8) Even Par - Lightly-raced colt ran a pair of sub-par races at Delaware this summer, his only two starts since this meeting last winter. Training well since coming south, he fits if ready.
