DIVIN PROPOS (6) has enjoyed a let-up of five weeks since he won when resuming over 1m2f at Santa Anita (Turf), scoring by 2 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and will be a tough nut to crack again. Group 3 winner MALTESE FALCON (3) didn't do a bad job when fourth last start over 1m2f at Santa Anita, beaten 2.2.5 lengths. That followed a win at Santa Anita the start prior. J J Hernandez is a key engagement. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. SARWAR (9) last appeared on October 1 when a good sixth over 1m at Santa Anita (Turf), beaten 2 lengths, which was his only run of the campaign. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. One to consider. REIQUIST (7) finished fourth last time out over 1m at Santa Anita, beaten 2.5 lengths. Expected to feature.
