THE SPEEDY ONE (1) is a five-start maiden who was close to a win before a eight months break, finishing off with a minor placing at Hawthorne (Dirt). Can pick up where he left off. Rates on top and is a great chance to open the campaign with a win. AZTEC GEM (2) is a eight-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 27 lengths when sixth over 6f at this track (Dirt). Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. YOU GOOD (4) didn't do a lot on debut two-and-a-half weeks ago, finishing 16 lengths from the winner in fifth over 6f at this track (Dirt). Will take a lot from that experience. Shapes as one to consider. TEMPLE OF PEACE (6) resumes from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1m at Louisiana Downs (Turf). Good effort to open last prep when in the money at Evangeline Downs over 1m. Has ability so don't underestimate.
