SMOKEY MANDATE (3) last appeared when sixth over 1m1/2f at Listed level at Gulfstream Park (Turf) ten months ago. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. DOUBLEDOGJUSTICE (4) settled in a rearwards position and never came on when resuming last start, finishing ninth and beaten 19 lengths over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Finds an easier assignment and can take this out. LAUGHNOWCRYLATER (5) lines up on the back of a 7 length ninth over 1m at Kentucky. Major player. MUCHO MOJO (6) finished midfield at his first run back from a lay-off last start, beaten 6 lengths over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). In the mix.
