SAQEEL (8) returned from a lay-off six-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 10 lengths into sixth over 1m at Santa Anita. Has a fair record when second up, including three top-three finishes. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. LIGHT THE BEAM (6) is having his first run since winning by 4 lengths four weeks ago over 1m2f at Grants Pass. Has transferred to the Jorge Rosales stable over the break. Definite winning chance in this line-up. BATTLE SCARS (5) ran below expectations last time at Louisiana Downs (Dirt), finishing seventh and beaten 16 lengths starting at 7/1. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. CHASENTHEONE (2) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 5 lengths back in fourth over 1m at Canterbury Park (Turf). Among the chances.
