Oaklawn Park will proceed with the rescheduled $250,000 Southwest Stakes (G3) on Saturday with the same ten horses from the original field and a bit of a jockey shuffle.
The Southwest was postponed on Monday when Oaklawn called off live racing because of a frozen surface.
Martin Garcia will replace Garrett Gomez on San Rafael Stakes (G3) winner Conveyance, who drew post nine in the re-drawn lineup. Gomez will be at Gulfstream Park on Saturday.
Mission Impazible will start to the outside of Conveyance with jockey Eibar Coa aboard instead of John Velazquez, who stuck to his commitments at Gulfstream Park.
Three Chimneys Hopeful Stakes (G1) winner Dublin fared much better with post three for Saturday, after catching the outside assignment the first time.
"That's good for me," trainer D. Wayne Lukas said. "The percentage of horses winning from the nine and ten holes going a mile is not good."
Jockey Terry Thompson has the call on Dublin, who underwent throat surgery after finishing fifth in the Champagne Stakes (G1) and seventh in the Iroquois Stakes (G3) in his two starts since the Hopeful.
Dryfly will seek a graded victory for Oaklawn President Charles Cella after scoring by 2¼ lengths in a front-running victory in the Smarty Jones Stakes on January 18.
