HOT LE ROY (2) returns after a lay-off of ten weeks. Looking to emulate his win at Delta Downs at the beginning of last prep. Lines up. For the first time for trainer jonathan wong. Should be hard to stop. ZONG TOUGH (1) is a last-start winner over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt), showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by 0.3 lengths. Sure to take some stopping again. CRYPTOZONIC (6) was last at the races when he finished eighth over 6f at Fairgrounds (Dirt) on January 25. Has a solid when resuming record of three wins and two placings from seven runs. Comes here with definite top-three claims. ANDIAMO GIACOMO (5) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 7f at Evangeline Downs, beaten 5 lengths, after a win at Evangeline Downs at the previous outing. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
