BALLYHOOLIGAN (4) bounced back last start and got the job done by 0. 3 lengths after being in contention on the bend as public elect over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Likely to be there at the finish again. THE OLD NINE (1) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just a nose from the winner in second over 6f at Santa Anita Turf after being in contention on the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HANDSOME TICKET (3) returned from a break last start and led throughout to score by 0. 8 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). With blinkers added expect to see plenty of improvement. MICI'S EXPRESS (2) was last at the races when he finished fourth over 1m at this track (Dirt) on May 16. Definite top-three chance.
