Book smart (5) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 2 lengths over 6f at this track (dirt).Likely to push forward and race on the pace.Will play a major role.Double jab (8) is a progressive three-year-old gelding who resumes from a break of three-and-a-half months, his last appearance being a win over 5f at this track (turf) at his only run of that campaign.Goes well when fresh including a win and two minor placings.Has good early speed so should take up a forward position.Leading contender.Meesh (7) was in contention on the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 6½f at santa anita after missing the placings at the previous appearance.Looks well placed so expect another big run.Gypsy tears (1) was far from disgraced when second last start over 6½f at santa anita.That followed a win at los alamitos the start prior.Should be thereabouts.
