Group 2 winner KINGSBARNS (4) was a winner last time over 7f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) and re-unites with Luis Saez who steered on that occasion. Down in the weights this time so he is worth following up. Multiple Group 2 winner SMILE HAPPY (3) last appeared when he finished fifth over 1m1/2f in the G3 Mineshaft Stakes at Fairgrounds (Dirt) on February 17. Sure to make his presence felt. Group 3 placegetter WAR CAMPAIGN (9) went forward and gave a great sight when second over 1m1f in the G3 Essex Handicap at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) last time out. Sure to be competitive. Group 1 placegetter HAPPY AMERICAN (8) was beaten 10 lengths into seventh over 1m1f at Fairgrounds at his latest appearance. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
