NORMANDY LANDING (5) was sent out at long odds when resuming last time but ran above expectations to finish second, beaten only a nose, over 6½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. DEL MAR JERRY (1) finished fourth at this track and distance at his last appearance 12 weeks ago. Rates highly and should take some beating. FEEL THE MAGIC (6) put the writing on the wall last time when a close third at Del Mar (Dirt) over 1m. Has a solid record at this circuit. One of the contenders. VOLDEMORT (3) was well in the market when resuming last start but failed to threaten when a disappointing seventh at Los Alamitos (Dirt) over 6½f. Should camp just off the leaders. Must be respected.
