Bahamian Squall looks good from what I see so far off of Equibase Charts. Need the Racing Form to make up my mind.
Also Justin Phillip and Trickmeister look OK. Others have been just beating each other and not beat anything special, or if they did are past their prime, like Jackson Bend and Trinniberg for instance.

Not so sure about Trinniberg. Trip to Dubai affects a lot of them.
Trinniberg looking to snap losing streak in Smile Sprint
Defending champion male sprinter Trinniberg, arguably at a disadvantage when dropping his first two starts of the season in Dubai and Kentucky, will attempt to right the proverbial ship over his home track of Calder in Saturday's Grade 2, $350,000 Smile Sprint Handicap.
Trinniberg is the star attraction on the Summit of Speed program, which also features the Grade 1, $350,000 Princess Rooney Handicap, a pair of Grade 3 sprints for three-year-olds, and two $100,000 grass stakes.
Securing the Eclipse Award following an upset win in last fall's Breeders' Cup Sprint, Trinniberg was next prepared for the $2 million Dubai Golden Shaheen at Meydan in late March. However, the Teuflesberg colt failed to transfer his dirt form to Tapeta, finishing 11th in a field of 13.
Next entered in the seven-furlong Churchill Downs on the Kentucky Derby undercard, Trinniberg dueled for the lead for a half-mile before retreating to seventh over the sloppy track. Winless in five attempts on off tracks, Trinniberg finished more than 12 lengths behind Delaunay, one of the nation's premier sprinters.
Trinniberg's recent works have included two bullets over the Calder strip. Willie Martinez again has the mount on the 123-pound high weight.
Fort Loudon and Swagger Jack, both of whom fared poorly in the Metropolitan Handicap last time, figure to show more here. A seven-time winner at Calder, Fort Loudon beat Trinniberg in the Carry Back on 2012 Summit of Speed Day, and over the winter at Gulfstream beat Swagger Jack by a half-length in the Gulfstream Park Sprint Championship.
Swagger Jack rebound from that loss to Fort Loudon by beating that rival to the finish in the Gulfstream Park Handicap, and then posting a 15-1 upset of the Carter Handicap at Aqueduct on April 6.
Grade 2 veteran Justin Phillip enters in near-peak form following a win in the Count Fleet Sprint Handicap and a runner-up placing behind the well-regarded Fast Bullet in the True North Handicap at Belmont. The Smile Sprint will mark the first race in south Florida for the five-year-old son of First Samurai.
The June 8 Ponche Handicap, the top local prep for the Smile Sprint, has yielded most of the other major contenders for Saturday's race. Black Diamond Cat, Close It Out, Grande Shores, Bahamian Squall, Jackson Bend, and Trickmeister occupied the first six slots, in that order, with multiple Grade 1 hero Jackson Bend likely in need of a race in his first outing since Labor Day weekend last fall.

Good price on a Fawkes horse!
Bahamian Squall outlasts Trinniberg in Smile Sprint
The Sports Network
Bahamian Squall held off champion sprinter Trinniberg down the stretch to capture Saturday's $350,000 Smile Sprint Handicap at Calder Race Course.
The Smile Sprint is a "Win and You're In" event for the Breeders' Cup Sprint on Nov. 2 at Santa Anita, giving Bahamian Squall an automatic spot in the race.
Trained by David Fawkes and ridden by Luis Saez, Bahamian Squall came from just off the pace in the six-furlong stakes to take the lead at the top of the stretch and was able to hold off a determined Trinniberg to post a 1 3/4- length win.
Veteran racehorse Jackson Bend finished third in the 12-horse field followed by Justin Philip, Trickmeister, Close It Out, Black Diamond Cat, Fort Loudon, Artefacto, Apriority and Cajun Breeze. Off the Jak suffered an injury shortly after the start and was pulled up. Swagger Jack was scratched.
The time for the Smile Sprint on a fast track was 1:10.21.
Owned by Donald Dizney, Bahamian Squall earned $201,810 with the victory to almost double his career earnings. The 4-year-old colt has now banked $411,980 with four wins in 12 starts.
This year the colt was second in the Florida Sunshine Millions Sprint followed by a third in the Gulfstream Park Sprint Championship and fourth at Calder in the Ponche Handicap.
Bahamian Squall paid $16.60, $7.60 and $6.00. Trinniberg returned $5.00 and $4.00, and Jackson Bend paid $7.00 to show.
