HABESHIA landed a double on the all-weather back in November. He has failed to show any progress since then but is back on the same mark today as when scoring over track and trip. Eastward Ho has not won since 2012 but is usually thereabouts in this lowly grade, while Katmai River is capable of popping-up off his current mark when the mood takes him. Anjuna Beach won over track and trip off a similar mark last year while Keeper's Ring continues to slide down the weights and will take advantage before long.
