Wild Shot alternates between here and hurdling but hasn't been in the best of form. Limit Long scored over 7f at Laytown and followed-up over this track and trip but the handicapper appears to have hold of him. Take My Hand, a winner over a mile in November, has never been this far in 38 starts but Here's Hoping has been running well over the track and trip. Crystal Pool was in fine form on Turf during the summer but was well beaten on her return here so a chance is taken with RAGTIME RED. He's isn't a prolific winner but has gained all three career victories over this track and trip and was reported injured after his last start in August.
