MORELLO (2) has not appeared since he finished fifth over 1m at Los Alamitos (Dirt) on December 13. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. CAROL'S COMIC (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 5½f at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. GENTLEMEN'S CLUB (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1m at this track after being in contention on the bend. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to be right there at the finish. SMARTY NOSE (1) was beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 5½f at this track last time out. Better than recent efforts suggest.
