The betting should give some clue to Mutual Regard's chances as he steps up in trip for his belated seasonal debut. He was well beaten over 7f here last November, however, while Dewala has her first outing since March when runner-up over a mile at this track. SMART AFFAIR has won over the mile trip here and wasn't disgraced when fourth over 1m3f on the Turf in August. She gets the speculative vote with Stag Hill and Pugnacious others who may figure if taking to the surface.
