(# 5) VACATION - Last out ran second in the slop at this track, condition, and distance. Trainer's (McGaughey) stock almost always do better with distance increases. Son of "Dynaformer" has performed well in all starts.

(# 9) Mr. Shortcake - Has speed and is coming off a seven-week rest for the Pletcher barn. Draws a good post for the "flat" mile run. Has been in some tough heats to this point. Close-up threat.

(#' 1 and 1a) Clever Kevin and Pure Devil - We'll accept either one of these (or preferably both) runners as our third selection. "Kevin" makes second lifetime start, has been working well and gets Lasix today. "Devil" was scratched out of a start the other day to await this spot.

(# 4) Big Stick - McLaughlin trainee has been freshened up since early October. Has had seven weeks since the last race and is working steadily for this start. Blinkers go on today, a 25% move for the trainer.
