JP JESS VALIANT (4) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1f130yards at this track, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Meets a stronger field but she is fitter and capable of running a bold race. IMA GOLD JEWEL (7) lines up for the first time since December 19. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1f80yards at Evangeline Downs. Sure to make his presence felt. JESS COOKIES PLEASE (10) settled back but wound up late to finish fourth when resuming last start over 1f130yards at this track (Dirt). Reunites with Alejandro Medina who has been in the money two times when aboard. One of the main contenders. KAMIKAZE HS (1) is a 10-start maiden who is knocking on the door after a narrow defeat last start over 1f at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
