COACH CRONIN (7) was well in commission last start over 6f at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 4. 5 lengths. Strong winning chance. SPECIAL CLUB (4) caught the eye last start over 6f at Santa Anita Turf (Turf), coming from the tail and running on strongly to score by a nose. J J Hernandez who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Among the leading chances. ONE SMOKIN DUDE (1) built on his impressive record on dirt in a with a win over 6½f at Los Alamitos. Less effective on turf last time when 11th over 1m at Santa Anita Turf. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and is one of the prime contenders. AFTERNOON NAP (3) didn’t threaten when resuming last start over 1m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf), finishing sixth, beaten 5 lengths. Has a decent second up record. Likely improver.
