Catalina Red faces class check in Sam F. Davis

Ocean Knight (Curlin), a 4 1/4-length debut winner at Aqueduct December 13

for trainer Kiaran McLaughlin, merits respect in his stakes debut. Irad Ortiz

Jr. will be in for the mount. Todd Pletcher will be represented by recent maiden

scorer Royal Son (Tiznow), who was elevated to first via disqualification at

Gulfstream on January 8. John Velazquez rides.

Other runners include stakes runner-up Brother Bobo (Kantharos); Bears

Personality (Awesome Again), who returns to action for conditioner Reade Baker

after concluding 2014 with a pair of easy wins at Woodbine; My Johnny Be Good

(Colonel John), 14-length runaway winner over allowance/optional claiming

opponents at Tampa on December 28; and smart Tampa maiden winner Bandages (Any

Given Saturday).

Eleven sophomore fillies were entered for the $100,000

Suncoast at a mile and

40 yards. Juvenile stakes winner A.P.'s Glory will attempt to bounce back from a

fourth-place showing as the favorite in the December 27 Gasparilla at Tampa.

Chris Emigh takes over the reins for Jimmy DiVito.

Irish Jasper (First Defence) and Huasca (Tiz Wonderful), the top two

respective finishers from the Gasparilla, both return in the Suncoast. The

overflow field of 11 includes one also-eligible.

The $150,000

Endeavour (G3), a 1 1/16-mile turf affair for fillies and mares,

will also be offered. Testa Rossi (Dr Fong), a smashing 3 1/2-length winner of

the Florida Oaks (G3) over the course in her 2014 debut, will return to Tampa

for trainer Chad Brown. She makes her first appearance since a disappointing

seventh as the favorite in the Mrs. Revere (G2) last November.

The 14-horse field also contains Hard Not to Like (Hard Spun), who will make

her first appearance since upsetting the Jenny Wiley (G1) at Keeneland last

April. The six-year-old mare sold for $1.5 million at the Keeneland November

sale and makes her first start for Christophe Clement. Multiple Grade 3 heroine

I'm Already Sexy (Ready's Image) can't be dismissed from consideration and Grade

1 queen Rosalind (Broken Vow) will be seeking a turnaround in form after

concluding last season with four consecutive unplaced finishes.
