RIDING A DREAM (3) returns from a layoff of four months. Scored over 1308m at Tampa Bay Downs at the start of last prep. Rates highly and should take some beating. SPAN OF CONTROL (1) returned from a two months break over 1106m last start and got the job done by 0.1 lengths at this track (Synthetic). Has five wins here. Among the leading chances. MOR SPRING SPIRIT (5) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1207m at this track (Synthetic), beaten 18 lengths. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including six wins. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is likely to play a big role. SMOKIN' HOT (2) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths at Thistledown (Dirt) over 1207m. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
