BOOST (2) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten one length into second over 1006m at this track (Turf) when she was in the firing line all the way. Has the class to take this out. MISS BOURBON (6) has not appeared since she finished fifth over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) on December 20. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. HOPPETOSSE (3) finished third last time over 1207m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf) when resuming from a spell, beaten 4 lengths. This is a more suitable contest and can get the job done. JACK CHARLES (7) was beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 1106m at this track last time out. No surprise to see him in the mix.
