SPEAK EASY (3) was only 0.3 lengths from the winner in second last time out in a small field over 7f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) at the first run of the campaign. I Ortiz Jr who has two wins when partnering stays on. Should be hard to stop. DISCREET MISCHIEF (4) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 0.3 lengths when resuming last time out over 6f at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. HARRODSBURG (5) is having his first run since November 23. Has a strong record when fresh with two wins from two runs, the most recent over 7f at this track at the start of last prep. Should be prominent. WICO (6) hasn't been able to break through for over a year, the latest finishing third over 1m at this track (Dirt). Blinkers are added in a positive move by the stable.
