MASONS JET BLACK (6) saluted at the first run back from a lay-off last start over 3f213yards at Evangeline Downs (Dirt), scoring by a nose. Has been given a let-up of six-and-a-half weeks since that outing. Will be better for that latest run and happy to have him on top. JJ CARTER (2) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 3f213yards at Evangeline Downs. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. CECILIA JESS BLUE (4) raced just off the lead before letting down nicely and scoring a half a length win over this journey at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) last time. Will push forward and is among the chances again. LOUIE B QUICK (7) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 3 lengths at his most recent appearance when third over 2½f at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Federico Vargas stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Don't underestimate.
