NAMARON (3) lines up for the first time since October 25. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1m at Kentucky. Expect him to play a major role. TEMPUS VOLAT (2) finished 1. 75 lengths from the winner in fourth last time out in the G1 Hollywood Derby at Del Mar (Turf) over 1m1f. Has found the frame in all four starts at this journey, including two wins. M Demuro who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Should be hard to stop. FRIENDLY CONFINES (5) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 3. 5 lengths behind Salamis over 1m1f in the G1 Hollywood Derby at Del Mar (Turf). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One of the main contenders. MAAZ (7) ran seventh at his latest appearance over 1m1f at Del Mar, clocking in 5 lengths from the winner. Worth plenty of thought.
