Group 2 winner ELM DRIVE (5) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 5½f at Keeneland. Has a strong when resuming record, scoring on three occasions from four starts. Comes here with definite claims. STAY AND SCAM (9) multiple Group 3 placegetter. Has not been sighted since she scored over 1m at Santa Anita on May 25. Has an impressive six wins from 13 career starts. Looms large. ITZEL (3) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2 lengths win over 6f at Santa Anita (Turf). J J Hernandez stays aboard. One of the contenders. RUNNINWITHTHEBOYZ (8) saluted at the first run back from a lay-off last start over 6½f at Santa Anita (Turf), scoring by 2.75 lengths. Has been given a let-up of six weeks since that outing. Fitter for that last hitout and is worth following up.
