DESERT GATE (1) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1m in the G3 Robert B. Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Blinkers are added so with added fitness he looms as a big threat. SOLDIER N DIPLOMAT (7) is a talented colt who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1m1/2f in the G2 Rebel Stakes at this track (Dirt). Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best form puts him right in this. LINCOLN'S LAW (2) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 6f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago. Sure to play a major role. TOP LEVEL (5) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt), beaten 0. 3 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. In the right race and is a top-three hope.
