MENDYS HONEY (4) saluted at the first run back from a lay-off last start over 6f at Colonial Downs (Dirt), scoring by one length. Has been given a let-up of five weeks since that outing. Open to plenty of improvement and is the testing material. MAGGIE'S GIRL (1) is having her first run since November 23. Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 4½f at this track at the start of last prep. Key runner. JUBA'S PARADE (2) lines up for the first time since November 9. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 7f at this track. Has to be respected. LIGHTNIN RUNNER (10) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance when when resuming from a layoff last time out. Nicely placed to score once again.
