JACK KEROUAC (1) followed an unplaced effort when resuming two runs back with a third last start over 1m at Los Alamitos after being prominent at the bend. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. BELMONT BILL (2) is back at the races for the first time since May 27. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6½f at Santa Anita. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. ADIOS COLE (9) showed good speed and fought on for second over 1m1/4f at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic) last time. Has been in the money at all five starts this campaign, including a win. Should be involved in the finish. JEWELED SHILLELAGH (6) resumes. After filling a minor placing at his last appearance at santa anita (turf) over 1m on may 27. Worth plenty of thought.
