EL GRANDE O (3) is back at the races for the first time since March 2. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 1m at this track. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. CLASSIFY (5) filled yet another minor placing last time when 0.8 lengths adrift in second over 7f at this track (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Has good early speed. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. DAUFUSKIE ISLAND (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 2 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to take this out. FORREST CITY (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on August 23 when beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth at Saratoga (Dirt) over 6f. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player.
