BOWTIE BOYS (5) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1m at this track (Dirt) at his latest appearance. Should camp just off the leaders. Expecting a bold showing. SPUN NOT STIRRED (2) is progressing nicely and wasn't too far away last time when second over 1m at this track (Dirt). Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and three minor placings from six runs. Sure to run well. UNCLE EVCO (7) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 17 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1m1f at Santa Anita Turf, beaten 5 lengths. Will enjoy a drop in class so he will be hard to beat. IRISH ELEMENT (3) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1m at this track, beaten only 0. 3 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
