CHARLES J (5) last appeared when he finished eighth over 1811m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) on March 4. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. PERSONAL CREED (8) was a dominant winner last time over 1609m at this track (Turf), getting home by 5 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Will prove tough to beat. BLAZING BURROUGHS (9) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at BELTERRA PARK (Dirt) over 1609m. Well placed and should be in the finish again. QUOKKA (2) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Churchill Downs, beaten 20 lengths into fifth. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
