BOUNDLESS OPTIMIST (1) should be peaking now after finishing second over 1m at this track (Turf) last time at the third run of the campaign. F Alvarado stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Should be hard to stop. FLEET BROTATO (3) finished third last time out over this course and distance, travelling towards the tail before winding up strongly in the dying stages. Strong effort last time and is worth following up. ENGLISH ICON (6) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 6½f at Santa Anita Turf, beaten 10 lengths into eighth. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. NOAH'S GOLD (2) wasn't far away on debut last start over 7½f at this track (Turf), finishing second and beaten 1. 75 lengths. Can figure in the finish.
