Hero Show to take up the running with Presto Mulan and Smile More close at hand. MALDIVES FLAVOR (7) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with a win over 1600m at this track a month ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Likely to be there at the finish again. SMILE MORE (9) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at this track over 1600m on December 12. Capable of playing a major role. GIRARDET (1) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fourth over 1800m at this track. Solid top-three prospects. PRESTO MULAN (6) disappointed at her last run three months ago when seventh at this track, that effort following back-to-back wins. Did kick off her last prep with a win over 1200m at this track. Anticipating a strong return to racing.
