Horse Comments:
#3 Namaron (3-2) finished in the top three in all seven starts. He won three of his first five starts in Germany including a G3 score in April. He was second in a G3 in May and shipped to this country and rallied to finish 3rd of 14 in the Gun Runner at 8T at KD Sept. 6. He cuts back a furlong after finishing an even third in the local G2 Twilight Derby Oct. 25. Flavien Prat takes the call and he sports five local works for this including a 5f bullet Dec. 6.
#2 Tempus Volat (9-2) lost his punch when finishing 4th of 8 in the G1 Hollywood Derby at 9T last time. He cuts back a furlong and he fired trifecta shots in all four attempts at 8T including a stakes win in the Let It Ride.
