HOT SHOT ETHICS (6) Handy enough when winning last start here and strong performer at the trip. Has shown early pace in races to date. Tracking very well this preparation. Will go well. TORNADO ETHICS (7) Clearly outclassed when 8th last run at this track. Expecting improvement and will be well suited at the trip. Going well this preparation. A win wouldn't surprise. HANK MCCOY (1) Displayed potential when winning last run at The Gardens and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Looks set to run a place.
