EL APAGON (2) returns from a lay-off. Finished sixth at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep ten weeks ago. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal while fresh. CRUZIN MAN (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 5f at this track, beaten 1. 5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. SOSUA SUMMER (7) was beaten for early speed and safely held to the line when fifth over 5½f at this track (Synthetic) five-and-a-half weeks ago. Hasn't broken through over this course and distance but has managed three minor placings. One of the main contenders. FULANITO (1) is back after a break of six months. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Has to be respected.
