BRIGHT LEAF (2) finished fifth over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on January 27. Yet to win when resuming but generally runs well with two minor placings from four tries. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. BRAZENLY (4) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 10 lengths, over 1m at this track. Has sound form here including a win and two minor placings from seven starts. Among the leading chances. TIZ TOK (3) finished second two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.1 lengths as public elect over 1m at this track (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but another win is not out of the question. DEPARTURE (5) is having his first run since March 17. Goes very well when fresh with two wins from three starts, the latest over 6½f at Turf Paradise at the start of last prep. Worth plenty of thought.
