SMASH IT (4) is close to a win at the fourth run back from a lay-off, the latest effort a second over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Has a good association with Umberto Rispoli with a run of three top-three results. Sure to run well. YAQIN (6) is a two-year-old colt by Nyquist out of Charlatana set to debut for the Bob Baffert stable. Bold showing expected. Watch betting. ARRAKIS (9) was prominent to the corner on debut last start but weakened to finish fourth over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Fitter and can find the frame this time. ELUSIVE MOON (5) is a two-year-old colt facing the starter for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Malibu Moon from Mare And Cher. Promising type who can play a big role.
