MISTER ICEMAN (2) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Oaklawn Park, beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth. Has the class to take this out. JOE DON LOONEY (3) returns from a break of 14 months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 6½f at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. ROLL ON BIG JOE (5) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 5½f at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic), scoring by 0.3 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and he is a major player again. KATAR (6) is having his first run since winning by 11 lengths three weeks ago over 6f at Turf Paradise. Has transferred to the Philip A Oviedo stable over the break.
