DUNCAN IDAHO (6) is back from a lay-off. Closed last prep in sparkling form with four consecutive wins, the latest over 4½f at this track on February 8. Has a high cruising speed. Likely to feature. WHERE IS MIKE (4) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Michael E Jr Jones barn. Resumes after filling a minor placing at his latest outing five months ago at Laurel (Turf). Not seen at the trials but goes very well fresh from a lay-off, winning two times from four attempts. Among the leading chances. ELLE'SBIGSEACRET (2) made it three wins on the bounce last time out when he scored by half a length over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Winning rider L A Batista retains the mount. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. GOLDEN G (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 4½f at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
