Lexington Times faced a similar task in an All-Weather Championship race here on Good Friday but never looked like catching Four Seasons and may have trouble confirming earlier running with FANCIFUL ANGEL in this. The latter was less than a length behind Lexington Times here on his first start since October and Marco Botti's colt re-opposes on better terms. The rest have some improving to do to match the above pair. That includes Misterioso and Dance Track though both should be winning races this year while Star Asset and Spanish Squeeze have even more on their plates though the latter is held in high regard judged on some fancy entries.
