CULTURAL (1) was below his best last start when beaten 8 lengths into seventh over 5½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Will give a great sight. ARKADELPHIA (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Los Alamitos, beaten 9 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the bend. Faces an easier assignment so he is one of the main contenders. SCOOP OF CHOCOLATE (2) recorded a strong maiden win over 6f at Los Alamitos (Dirt) last time, getting there by 2. 5 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. INFINITE SPIRIT (5) is back from a lay-off of 12 weeks. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 4f124yards contest at this track by 2 lengths. Solid top-three hope.
