JETOVATOR (2) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 0. 3 lengths last time out over 5f at Del Mar (Turf). Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. ONE SMOKIN DUDE (6) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 6½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt), getting home by 1. 5 lengths. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. GRAZED (11) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at Los Alamitos (Dirt) over 5½f. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. CHECK'S ON THE WAY (4) made progress last time out, finishing 2. 75 lengths from the winner in second over 5f at Del Mar. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.
