Full brother to Flute Master, won at 1m. Adds to Bob Baffert's hand of intriguing entrants and this $1,050,000 yearling has to be high on the list of considerations.

Beaten 2 1/2l by Moonlit Sonata when second of 10 at 15-2 on his racecourse debut at Del Mar over 6f in November last year. Another step in the same direction could see him go close.

Bob Baffert sets a real poser by sending out two highly interesting newcomers and the betting should be a strong source of clues. Normandy Landing was the more expensive of the pair but, going by workout reports, MAYMUN could be the more precocious at this stage. All That Glory appeals most of those with experience.
A winner at 5f. Finished 11l behind Lansdowne when sixth of 10 at 16-5fav on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f in December last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Hector Palma. One to monitor closely in the betting.

A winner at 6f. Beaten 6l behind Cane Creek Road at 11-1 when last of 9 on his latest outing at Del Mar over 5f (good) in November last year. Won at that venue on his penultimate start and enters the thought process based on that run.

A winner at 6f. Beaten 3 1/2l by Habeas when second of 5 at 17-2 on his latest outing at Los Alamitos Racecourse over 6f in December. That was a solid effort on the back of a break and he rates a threat to all again.

Cases can be made for all of these but none appeals more than BLUE CHEESE OLIVE, who won over C&D on his penultimate start and, having blown any cobwebs away with a good second at Los Alamitos in mid-December, looks a prime candidate to strike again. The consistent The Bullion Bomber and Magnificent Ride are feared most.
A winner at 1m on good ground. Beaten 6l behind Zona Verde at 25-1 when seventh of 10 on her latest outing in the Grade 3 Jimmy Durante Stakes at Del Mar over 1m (good) in December. A notable contender dropping back down in class.

MS BRIGHTSIDE (fifth) fared the better of the two when encountering She Is Romantic (seventh) in a Grade 3 at Del Mar last month and is fancied to cement her authority now they are both eased in class. Mo Fox Givin looks the pick of the rest.
A winner at 1m. Beaten a neck by Tiz Tok when second of eight at 19-5 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m earlier this month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Robert Hess Jr. Can bounce back to winning ways.

Narrowly denied over C&D last time out, MONTANA should be able to build upon that and make it two wins in three starts. That may be at the main expense of Bendettijoe and Hotrod Ride.

POTENTIAL SPAM has shown enough in recent starts to suggest that he can get off the mark at the seventh time of asking. His chief threats look to be Audible Silence and When Heroes Fly.

IRISH WAHINE has been in terrific form of late and a third win in four starts could be in the offing for the daughter of Grazen. Scary Fast Ride and Wishtheyallcouldbe can give her the most to think about.
