GOOD CHEER (2) returns after winning four on end before a 11 weeks lay-off. Same winning combination from last prep. Can measure up again. SIMPLY JOKING (6) is a boom three-year-old filly yet to taste defeat in two runs, the most recent win by 2.5 lengths over 1m1/4f in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Effortless win last start and sure to be in the finish again. BALLERINA D'ORO (3) is a progressive three-year-old filly who hasn't raced since finishing second over 1m1f in the G2 Demoiselle Stakes at Aqueduct (Dirt) on December 7 which was the only run of that prep. Shapes as one to consider. BLESS THE BROKEN (7) has two placings from four starts this campaign and last start finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1m1/4f in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Don't underestimate.
