NORTHERN INVADER (12) returns from a layoff of nine weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 1m1/2f at Tampa Bay Downs. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. IRISH ACES (1) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish a long neck back in fourth over 1m1/2f in the G3 Canadian Turf Stakes at Gulfstream Park (Turf). Expected to be in this for a long way. WEST HOLLYWOOD (2) is a promising galloper who saluted at his last run before a break seven months ago over 1m1/2f in the G3 Saranac Stakes at Saratoga (Turf). Has scored when resuming from a lay-off before. Sure to be competitive. PIPER'S FACTOR (7) returns after a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at Woodbine when returning from a lay-off last prep. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
