ONE COOL DUDE (12) lines up for the first time since November 5. Looking to emulate his win at Ellis Park to kick off the last campaign. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. Multiple Group 2 placegetter RICHIESINTHEHOUSE (10) ran below expectations last time at this track (Synthetic), finishing 11th and beaten 11 lengths starting at 3/1. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BLAZEN ROAD (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 6f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Meets a stronger field but he is worth serious consideration. DOUBLE ADVANTAGE (7) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track (Synthetic) over the same trip. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners.
