    Race Analysis

    LITMUS TEST (3) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1m1/2f at Del Mar, clocking in 1. 75 lengths from the winner. Expecting a bold showing. ACKNOWLEDGEMEPLZ (1) resumed over 6½f at Santa Anita (Dirt) last time out and showed good speed to lead throughout, scoring by 0. 8 lengths. Tackles a much tougher assignment but he is expected to run well. PROVENANCE (2) is back from a lay-off of 11 weeks. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 6f contest at Santa Anita by 1. 75 lengths. Sure to measure up. BLACKSMITH (4) has started twice, running a good second on debut then finishing fifth, beaten 6 lengths, last time over 6½f at Del Mar (Dirt). Backmarker who gets home hard. Well placed and can feature in the finish.
