BARBADIAN RUNNER (2) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance in stakes class at Laurel (Dirt) over 1710m on December 20. Expect him to play a major role. PETINGAS TWIN (5) made progress last start to finish second over 1207m at Laurel after being in contention on the turn. Worth noting Arnaldo Bocachica goes aboard. Finds a suitable assignment and can take the next step and salute. SAM STORMY (1) is mixing form recently on the turf. Finished sixth at Tampa Bay Downs Turf two starts back then improved to score at Tampa Bay Downs Turf over 1609m seven weeks ago. Hard to knock form. In the mix again. IMPLEMENTATION (4) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when third, beaten 2.75 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1710m. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and is among the main hopes.
