MIDNIGHT CRY Trainer:  Claudio Gonzalez Last race:  Jan. 12, 4th Finish:  2nd by 1 1/2 lengths Beyer:  62 Showed good speed in first start following 273-day layoff and dug in gamely when confronted by the sharp favorite in the stretch. Claimed by top barn and is a nice fit back in the $5,000 beaten ranks.   FRISKY WHISKEY Trainer:  Eli Betancourt, Jr. Last race:  Jan. 11, 4th Finish:  3rd by 1 1/4 Beyer: 48 Got caught up chasing fast splits, opened up the lead turning into the stretch and understandably tired behind two closers in the final sixteenth. Seems very comfortable at the one-turn mile at Laurel in $5,000 beaten claimers.    JUSTIN FRONT Trainer:  Chris Englehart Last race:  Jan. 5, 5th Finish:  2nd by 3 1/2 Beyer:  63 The rail looked very live and Justin Front was hung out wide after breaking from the outside in the field of eight. Made a bid at rail-skimming gate-to-wire winner D C Fireman, but had to settle for second best. Look for him sprinting in the starter-optional claiming ranks.
