FIRST MISSION (3) showed good pace when resuming last time out and boxed on to finish 0.4 lengths from the winner in third in the G3 Razorback Handicap at this track (Dirt) over 1m1/2f. Can figure prominently. SKIPPYLONGSTOCKING (4) has returned in good order this campaign. Opened with a third in the G1 Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 1.3 lengths as public elect last time out over 1m1/2f in the G3 Challenger Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but another win is not out of the question. BANISHING (7) is putting together some solid results. Finished second in the G3 Razorback Handicap at this track (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by one length last time out over 1m in the G3 Oaklawn Mile Stakes at this track (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. ALEXANDER HELIOS (5) scored last start in the G3 Razorback Handicap at this track (Dirt) to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Takes on tougher opposition this time but is among the better hopes.
