Back from a break. Solid effort to run into 2nd last start at Santa Anita and gets a favourable barrier. Should muster plenty of early speed. Must be considered here.

Resumes from a 32 week spell. At $23.00 lost ground in the run home when 9th last run at Santa Anita. Won't be far away during the run. Overlook from a betting angle.

Jumped at $12.00 and not up to scratch when 9th last start at this venue and will be down in distance. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Seems very unlikely.
