BIG POPPER (3) lines up for the first time since November 29. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 6f at Fairgrounds. Now under the care of new trainer Jose A Romero. Has ability and should be right in the finish. BOOYAH (6) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Johanna Urieta yard. Finished off last campaign with a tenth at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic) four-and-a-half months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Leading player expected to feature. HEY HEY GOODBYE (4) finished fourth on debut two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6f at this track, beaten 2 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. MO SNOW (7) is a 10-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs, most recently when 2 lengths away in third over 6f at this track. Big chance again.
