ALEX JOON (6) missed the frame two starts ago on the dirt at Evangeline Downs but followed that with a win, also on dirt, at Evangeline Downs over 1m a month ago. Brings the right form to the contest. RIGHTANDJUST (8) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 1m at Evangeline Downs (Turf), making it two minor placings in a row. Generally takes a sit but the draw makes it tricky. Tackling a more suitable race so he is sure to prove hard to beat. AFFABLE MONARCH (1) won over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on January 28. Has switched to the Robertino Diodoro stable. Has to be respected. CHROME BABY (5) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Listed level at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by 3.5 lengths last time out over 1m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
