LUCKY FORCE (3) is having his first run since October 5. Has never missed the top-three at the start of his campaigns, and he did win over 6f at this track at the start of last prep. Comes to hand quickly so a bold showing is expected. DIOCLES (2) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of seven months and looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Winning chance while fresh. SOARINGFORTHESUN (1) was last at the races when he finished fifth over 1m3f in the G3 BC Premier's Handicap at this track on October 5. Has switched to the Sylvea Gregory yard. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. RUN RUDOLF (5) is having his first run since March 10. Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 6f at Turf Paradise at the start of last prep. Worth plenty of thought.
