Assuming that he is fully tuned-up following a 5-month break, STARTING MONDAY could be the answer to this open-looking handicap. He was a good second off 1 lb higher mark at Killarney in October and a reproduction of that effort would give him every chance. Wayne R Walker is also appealing and he is next on the list ahead of Storm Eric, who has been knocking on the door of late, while Muhalhel is also worth a second look.
