WON GREAT CLASSIC
Trainer: Linda Rice
Last race: Dec. 28, 1st
Finish: 1st by head
Beyer: 80
All but one of this grizzled veteran’s career victories have come on the inner dirt, the latest in return from a layoff when he altered course sharply for room in upper stretch and scored more decisively than indicated by the margin.

DI LISSA
Trainer: Linda Rice
Last race: Dec. 27, 1st
Finish: 2nd by 3/4
Beyer: 53
Off slow from the rail, steadied early after running up on heels, brushed turning for home, and closed willingly when claimed from debut.

COST AFFECTIVE
Trainer: Tom Albertrani
Last race: Dec. 26, 6th
Finish: 3rd by 1
Beyer: 71
Bet to even-money favoritism when brought back from a 47-day absence in a maiden special weight sprint, and was caught in traffic through much of the stretch run.
