Although being out sprinted still placed 2nd last run at Santa Anita and fitter for debut run. Should muster plenty of early toe. Flavien Prat is a pivotal booking. Could be in the mix.

At $18.00 lost ground when 4th last run at the track. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

Solid effort to run into 2nd beaten by 4 3/4L last start at the track and on an upward trajectory in recent races. This looks a tough assignment.

Solid effort when finishing 3rd last run at the track. Might have to make up considerable ground. Will be tested.

First up after a break. Started $6.00 and didn't find the line when 7th last start at Keeneland but was a debutant last start. Will be a difficult test.

Solid run when placing 3rd beaten by over 8L last time at this venue and having second race start. Irad Ortiz Jr is a key booking. Not dismissing.
