DATS MY CURL (1) resumes from a lay-off of three months and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1f80yards at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Re-unites with Arnulfo Gutierrez. Rates on top and is a great chance to open the campaign with a win. TDZ HEZA GOT GAME (3) is a eight-start maiden who returned last time and finished ninth at this track (Dirt) over 1f31yards, beaten 1.4 lengths. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will prove tough to beat. ONE FAVORITE JESS (9) was beaten 1.1 lengths into third at this track two starts ago then finished 0.6 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at this track (Dirt). Shapes well and is among the main hopes. FAST DASHIN SPITFIRE (8) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed to feature in the finish.
