MONTEREY PENINSULA (4) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. STAY THIRSTY AMIGO (5) bounced back last start and got the job done by 1. 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend over 5½f at Thistledown (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. STAR SHOPPING (1) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 1. 5 lengths when sixth in a 1m contest at Thistledown a week ago. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FAT DADDY (7) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 5 lengths over 5½f at Thistledown (Dirt). Distance specialist with four wins and 13 minor placings from 23 runs and cannot be taken lightly.
