ALMENDARES (5) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1m in the G2 Frank E Kilroe Mile Handicap at this track (Turf). Antonio Fresu has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Leading contender. KING OF GOSFORD (3) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on August 30, finishing sixth and beaten 14 lengths over 1m in the G2 Del Mar Mile Handicap at Del Mar Turf (Turf). Has a solid record at this circuit. Likely to feature. SUMTER (2) got home by 0. 1 lengths last time out over 6½f in the G3 San Simeon Stakes at this track (Turf). Yet to miss the frame in six starts over this course and distance. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One of the main contenders. SEAL TEAM (6) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but was beaten 3. 5 lengths into sixth over 6½f in the G3 San Simeon Stakes at this track (Turf). Generally goes well with that run under the belt. Can do better than last.
