Half-brother to Buckeye Heart, won nine times at 5f and 7f. Doesn't look the likeliest of the two newcomers, never mind the other runners.

Normandy Beach seemed to improve for the step up to a mile last time so has questions to answer here, while Golden Ready has worked as though his turf debut here has brought him on considerably. GIT ON YOUR PULPIT gets the vote, though, as he has gone well here in the pat and may have found the trip too sharp at Santa Anita latest.
Successful at 5f and 7f. Finished 6l behind Gemini Journey when fifth of 9 at 22-1 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f earlier this month. Hasn't won in seven starts over this trip.

BRIDAL ARCH was snapped up by Eddie Truman after a good second at Santa Anita and she could go one better for her new handler. Honor Maker, who was ahead of Briartic Gal on her last visit to this track, looks the pick of the challengers.

Feldspar looks the pick of the newcomers after a speedy 3f workout on Monday, but experience could tell here. Tiger Dad has run creditably in both starts to date, but TEACHER'S TREASURE could just be a little more progressive after filling second place at Santa Anita last month.

Derby Factor has been edging closer to victory of late and could go well, but FOR THE HUSTLE gets the vote. The four-year-old has filled the runner-up spot in a couple of similar contests at Santa Anita, with Supreme Giant behind both times, and could gain a deserved success.
A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Third of 5 behind Old Indian Trick beaten 3/4l at 6-5 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 5f last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time. Finished well that day but is unproven on turf.

OLD INDIAN TRICK fended off the attentions of Quick Finish to score over slightly further last time and the drop in trip is likely to suit the selection most. Mikes Tiznow won with ease on his second start over this track and trip so has to enter the reckoning.
A winner at 6f. Third of 6 behind Super Sol beaten 4 1/2l at 25-1 on his latest outing at Los Alamitos Race Course over 6f in September. Decent enough effort last time.

Allaboutaction has been a model of consistency of late and won well last time, but it might be worth passing him over in favour of NERO. Bob Baffert's colt hasn't been seen since February, but he was second in a Grade 2 on that occasion and may have too much class for these rivals. Goren won his maiden well and completes the shortlist.

Bob And Jackie ran well on debut and has claims if seeing out this trip, while Omaha Beach went close over a mile at Santa Anita latest so has no such stamina concerns. Preference, though, is for NOBLE NEBRASKAN, who missed out by a length in a more valuable contest at Keeneland last time and could be ready to strike.
Winner of six races from 5f to 6f. A winner at 6-1 at Santa Anita over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Ninety Nine Proof by 1 1/2l. Up in grade and trip, but arrives in fine form.

A winner at 6f. Third of 7 behind Tough But Nice beaten 6l at 9-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f last month. Unlikely to turn the tables on the reopposing winner.

He has won three times at 1m. Finished 3 1/2l behind Gabo's Macondo when sixth of 9 at 7-2 on his latest outing at Fresno over 1m 1f last month. Others appear to have stronger claims.

Touching Rainbows has placed form in Grade 1s, while Edwards Going Left ran well in a Grade 1 last time. However, he was behind SHADES OF VICTORY when they met in a stakes race at Los Alamitos and Reed Saldana's colt should be happier in this grade after struggling at the top level last time.
Dam won at 6f. Finished 7l behind Cyclometric when fifth of 7 at 7-1 on his racecourse debut at Santa Anita over 6f last month. Slowly away there so could go better.

Dam won twice at 6f. Finished 9l behind The Hunted when fifth of 10 at 45-1 on his racecourse debut at Santa Anita over 1m (good) last month. Looks up against it on that evidence.
