None of this bunch inspire much confidence but TAXIFORMISSBYRON went close over a mile at last week's meeting here and gets the token vote. Mudaawem has a shout on his earlier running on the all-weather and Dutch Gal may figure if reproducing the best of last year's form. Bitusa could finish closer dropped in class today while Polar Forest and Minot Street are others to consider in a poor handicap.
