KING OF GOSFORD (3) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 0.3 lengths over 6½f in Listed grade at Santa Anita (Turf) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from three runs. Big chance once again. ALL THAT GLORY (1) started at 2/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 1.5 lengths at Santa Anita (Turf) over 1m. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. GUY NAMED JOE (4) did a good job last start to finish third in Listed grade at Santa Anita (Turf) over 6½f, beaten 1.3 lengths. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and six minor placings from nine outings. Capable of going well. Group 2 placegetter FORMIDABLE MAN (2) ran below expectations last time in Listed grade at Churchill Downs (Turf) over 1m1f, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Strong record with Umberto Rispoli in the irons, including a win. Not to be discounted.
