KID FORESTER (1) returned from a lay-off six weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 5½f at Gulfstream Park. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. Group 2 placegetter MALIBU SECRET (7) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track five months ago. Patrick Husbands goes well on this 10-year-old and is back on top. Leading contender. BOXER BRIEF (9) is back from a lay-off of five months. Scored a determined win at his final run last campaign at this track over 6½f. Has found the right race and is worth including. ECHO WITH LAUGHTER (5) lines up for the first time since December 17. Looking to emulate his win at this track when returning from a lay-off last prep. One to consider.
