ICING (9) missed the placings two runs back then settled well back last start when 23 lengths away in seventh over 7f at Laurel. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. MISSIONSNINETYNINE (6) started at 6/4 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 6½f after being in contention on the corner. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. PENGUIN POWER (1) lines up for the first time since November 16. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 7f at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. GOLDEN KEY (2) was in contention on the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.75 lengths. Fitter for that run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
