|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo with Gagne, Signatory and Zafferano leading the way. GAGNE (2) finished second over 1500m at this track at his most recent appearance on December 24. Capable of playing a major role fresh. DRAGON KID (8) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1500m at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. LOCO LULU HEART'S (7) is finding the breakthrough elusive, finishing fifth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Among the chances on best figures. SIGNATORY (1) was in the placings again last time when 0.8 lengths adrift in second over 920m at this track. Always thereabouts and expected to be very competitive.
