The veteran Sharjah has been searching for an elusive 10th track victory for almost two years but has dropped to such a lowly mark that he has to enter calculations. Scotts Honor had been racing over hurdles before just failing to reel in Ragtime Red over the trip last month. Colin Keane takes over and a 2lb pull in the weights could make the difference. BELLEPOWER is 0-14 but ran well enough in two starts here in November to suggest she can finally get off the mark with Ben Coen's claim a bonus. Happaugue ran easily his best race to date on his track debut over a mile in November and there should be more to come.
