Armando Martinez leads the jockeys stats but wasn't on board when TRASK landed a similar contest at Columbus in September. His mount didn't show much on his debut here a couple of weeks ago but will have needed the run and is expected to do much better so gets the nod. The very experienced Rulethenight has managed to win eight races and this is his level so has to be on the shortlist while seven-times winner King Of Anything is making his way back after a very long absence and should now be reaching his peak. Classic Czar has gone off the boil since scoring at Louisiana Downs in September.
