Horses to Watch

ALEANDER
Trainer: David Jacobson
Last race: Nov. 27, 7th
Finish: 3rd by 5 1/2
Beyer: 76

Brushed at the start and 10 lengths off the pace through the opening half-mile, he rallied nicely late along the inside going 6 1/2 furlongs; that was the first start in nearly four months and first in the slop for the Smart Strike colt, who may stretch out effectively.

GAP YEAR
Trainer: Kiaran McLaughlin
Last race: Nov. 29, 8th
Finish: 6th by 19 1/4
Beyer: 65

Coming off a game maiden victory, this nicely bred 2-year-old filly was bumped at the start and raced three wide on both turns behind Condo Commando, the runaway winner of the Demoiselle on a gold rail.

FROSTED
Trainer: Kiaran McLaughlin
Last race: Nov. 29, 9th
Finish: 2nd by 1/2
Beyer: 89

Marooned out in post 13, this last-out maiden graduate was three to four wide throughout the Remsen and finished clearly best of the rest in a strong effort against a pronounced inside speed bias.
