MINISTER SHANE (7) was safely held when sixth last time out over 5f at Del Mar, beaten 4. 5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds an easier assignment and can rediscover winning form. HARCYN (10) is back after a break of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 6f at Fresno. Has recorded two wins when when resuming from a break. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. PLEASE FOCUS (5) is close to breaking through following a narrow defeat last time over 1m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Another big run expected. SIMPLEXITY (3) is back from a lay-off of ten weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 6½f at this track (Turf). Can make his presence felt while fresh.
