TOMMY NORRIS (2) resumed in a good race last start and finished eighth over 1m in stakes class at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Will find this much easier. Has never missed the placings when second up. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. RED HOT (5) is a two-year-old gelding by Mitole out of Obey on debut for the Luis Mendez stable. Serious contender, particularly if solid in the market. JOKER WENT WILD (3) was lining up for just the second time last start when fourth over 5½f at Del Mar, beaten 3 lengths. Will drift back but wind up late. Strong chance this time. MY BODACIOUS BOY (7) has not raced since his debut on October 4 over 6f at this track (Dirt) when he finished seventh, beaten 11 lengths. Open to improvement and can feature.
