Winner of five races from 6f to 1m. Third of 10 behind Giant Expectations beaten 4 1/2l at 17-5 on his latest outing in the Group 2 Pat O'brien Stakes at Del Mar over 7f in August. He is wearing blinkers for the first time which are entitled to eke out further improvement down in class. Looks the clear one to side with.

Has won nine races from 5f to 7f. Won on his latest outing when 3-5fav at Presque Isle Downs over 5f last month, beating Jaguar Poz by 3l. In very good form at present but this represents a rise in class on what he has encountered of late.

Successful at 6f and 1m. A winner at 19-5 at Los Alamitos Race Course over 1m on his latest outing in September, beating Americanize by 1 1/4l. Has some decent form but all of that comes at a much lower level. Needs to improve.

Winner of five races from 5f to 7f. Finished 7l behind Giant Expectations when sixth of 10 at 15-2 on his latest outing in the Group 2 Pat O'brien Stakes at Del Mar over 7f in August. Is yet to show any of his older form this season and his best days may well be behind him.

Successful twice at 6f. A winner at 2-1 at Santa Anita over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating City Of Light by 1l. Very reliable individual who is capable of some smart form but others make more appeal on their recent achievements.

He has won four times from 6f to 7f. Beaten 1l by Roy H when second of 6 at 40-1 on his latest outing in the Group 1 Santa Anita Sprint Championship Stakes at Santa Anita over 6f last month. That performance gives him excellent claims of returning to the winner's circle now dropped down in grade.

He has won four times from 5f to 6f. Finished 2 1/4l behind Whitmore when fifth of 11 at 10-1 on his latest outing in the Group 2 Stakes at Keeneland over 6f last month. Shaped on that occasion as though a step back up in trip is needed. Big player on that evidence.

SILENT BIRD has some very strong form in the book which includes a placed effort in a Grade 2 on his latest outing and the son of Summer Bird is entitled to get back to winning form. Mr. Hinx warrants plenty of respect dropping down from the highest level, while Loose On The Town is open to further progression.
A winner at 19-5 at Santa Anita over 1m 1f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Indoctrination by a neck. Got off the mark last time and could improve from that effort here.

He has won four times at 1m. Finished 3 1/2l behind Ample Sufficiency when fifth of 10 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) last month. May just have needed the outing last time and the extra distance will definitely play to his strengths.

Successful twice at 1m. Was pulled up behind Conquest Sabre Cat at 7-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) in May. Returns from a break and is best watched with his recent homework not the most convincing in the field.

He has won four times at 1m. Well beaten at 11-1 behind Ample Sufficiency when last of 10 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) last month. Struggled on that occasion and looks to have plenty on his plate as he bids to bounce back to his best.

A winner at 1m. Beaten 1/2l by Nutzforboltz when second of 8 at 14-5 on his latest outing at Belmont Park over 1m (good) last month. Appeared to benefit from the drop in class last time and a repeat of that performance puts him bang in the mix here.

Successful twice at 1m. A winner at 20-1 at Santa Anita over 1m (good) on his latest outing last month, beating A New Trend by 1/2l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Neil Drysdale, but has to improve again if he is to land a hat-trick of victories with his most recent coming at a lower level.

Successful at 6f and 1m. Finished 3 1/2l behind Anatolian Heat when fourth of 10 at 19-5 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) last month. Has won in better company recently so merits plenty of respect dropping down in class.

Successful twice at 1m including a win on polytrack. Third of 6 behind Tribal Roar beaten 3 1/2l at 13-2 on his latest outing at Los Alamitos Race Course over 1m in September. Has been performing with credit at a lower grade but this looks beyond his ability level.

A winner at 1m. Beaten a short head by Kencumin when second of 8 at 14-5 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) last month. Went very close on that occasion to taking his second win and has to be respected once again.

RITZY A. P. has been knocking on the door recently and only went down by a short nose when runner-up last time at Santa Anita and this looks the prime opportunity for him to gain his second success in his career. Soglio returned to somewhere near his best when second at Belmont, while Fritz Johansen is entitled to have improved for his last start.
Has won 11 races from 5f to 1m 4f. Third of 9 behind Tribal Storm beaten 1 1/4l at 4-1 on his latest outing at Fresno over 6f last month. Wasn't disgraced on his first go in a Stakes contest and is one firmly to consider dropping back down in class.

A winner at 6f. Beaten 1l by Americanize when second of 5 at 7-10fav on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f last month. Lightly-raced and remains open to plenty of improvement making the fourth start of his career. Looks the one to beat.

Successful at 7f and 1m, but last win was over two years ago. Beaten 19l behind Mubtaahij at 16-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing in the Group 1 Awesome Again Stakes at Santa Anita over 1m 1f last month. Has struggled in much better quality contests recently so the drop in class is a good angle.

Successful at 5f and 6f. Beaten 14l behind Giant Influence at 13-1 when 9th of 10 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m in June. Has disappointed on his last couple of starts but could improve having been gelded since his last outing.

Prime Issue and Donworth both arrive here with plenty in their favour and can both make a strong challenge for victory. However, preference goes to CITY OF LIGHT, who is lightly raced and more than capable of taking a big step forward making only his fourth start.
A winner at 6f. Finished 2 1/4l behind Fatale Bere when fourth of 12 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) last month. Unexposed type who looks open to plenty of improvement for connections and should be right there at the business end.

Successful at 5f and 6f. Beaten 16l behind Pulpit Rider at 11-1 when last of 7 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f last month. Looks well held on that form and connections are relying on a first attempt at seven furlongs to spark the required improvement.

Successful at 4f and 6f. Won on her latest outing when 6-5fav at Los Alamitos Race Course over 6f in September, beating Shaken Memories by 1/2l. That form probably sets the standard and the run is likely to have brought her on considerably for this more competitive assignment.

Successful twice at 5f. Finished 7l behind Beautiful Shot when fourth of 6 at 14-1 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f last month. Probably outran her odds on that occasion and there looks to be no reason why she can't go close in this company.

A winner at 5f. Beaten 2 1/4l by Pulpit Rider when second of 7 at 14-1 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f last month. Possible that she was flattered to finish so close to the winner there and it is unlikely that this race will pan out in quite the same fashion.

Successful twice at 6f. A winner at 9-5 at Santa Anita over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Sharona Sunset by 2 1/4l. Has a couple of these held on that form but needs to take another big step forward to get the better of the two likely market protagonists.

A winner at 6-1 at Santa Anita over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Carrie's Success by 6l. Little wrong with that performance and it wouldn't be the biggest surprise if she continued her upwards curve and went very close here.

Successful at 5f and 6f. A winner at 15-2 at Del Mar over 6f on her latest outing in August, beating Family Girl by 2l. Arrives on a hat-trick and has to be offered the utmost respect despite slight stamina doubts regarding this additional furlong.

A winner at 5f. Finished 8l behind Pulpit Rider when sixth of 7 at 9-10fav on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f last month. Disappointing there when supported in a weaker contest and the blinkers are unsurprisingly taken off this time.

ISMELUCKY and One Fast Broad boast very similar profiles here, though the former has the best form on offer after landing a stakes contest on just her third career start back in September. This slight step up in trip should suit and she can land the hat-trick here. Smiling Tigress can prove best of the remainder.
Successful at 1m and 1m 1f. Third of 6 behind Madefromlucky beaten 1 1/2l at 7-1 on his latest outing at Belmont Park over 1m 5f last month. Has been running well of late and is proven over the trip.

A rare 1m6f race on the dirt and most of these are unlikely to stay the trip. The two that standout on form are Destin and HARD ACES, who are both proven Grade 1 performers over shorter distances. The preference is for the latter because he has been in better form this year and he did finish second in this event 12 months ago. Estrechada is another who is an above-average performer.
A winner at 5f on the all-weather. Beaten 1l by Significant Form when second of 9 at 13-2 on her latest outing in the Grade 3 Miss Grillo Stakes at Belmont Park over 1m (good) last month. Likely to find at least a few of these too good.

Won on her latest outing when 6-5fav in the Group 1 Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere Grand Criterium at Chantilly over 1m (good to soft) last month, beating Olmedo by 1 1/4l. Arguably the best filly in Europe but is not certain to appreciate American racing.

Happily is the form pick following back-to-back Group 1 wins in Europe but she did not appear to be the paciest filly last time out and this race may not suit her running style. With that in mind, the preference is for her stablemate SEPTEMBER, who clearly relishes fast ground and arguably should have won the Fillies' Mile last time out. Rushing Fall is the pick of the North American team.

MOR SPIRIT has proven himself to be one of the best horses in the US this year and he should confirm form Sharp Azteca despite meeting that rival on 2lb worse terms today. Bob Baffert's rig has not raced since June but he has been working extremely well over at Santa Anita. The aforementioned Sharp Azteca as well as Accelerate and Practical Joke should be in the mix for the places.

MENDELSSOHN would arguably be more suited to the dirt race than his Dewhurst conqueror U S Navy Flag based on his pedigree but the son of Scat Daddy should still take plenty of beating today.

STELLAR WIND has had a fantastic season having won all three of her starts at the highest level and, most importantly, she arrives here fresher than 12 months ago which could make the difference between victory and defeat.
