CHASING LIBERTY (10) was a winner in a in Listed grade at Kentucky (Turf) then was competitive last time when fourth over 5½f at Listed level at Keeneland (Turf), beaten only 2 lengths. Should park just off the speed. Best figures should see him run well. ARTISLAS (14) is racing well. Scored in the G3 Del Mar Juvenile Turf Stakes at this track (Turf) in a then finished third, beaten a nose, over 1m in the G3 Zuma Beach Stakes at Santa Anita (Turf) at the latest appearance three-and-a-half weeks ago. Reyluis Gutierrez who has two wins when partnering stays on. Leading contender. SABERTOOTH (1) went close to breaking through last start, beaten only 0.2 lengths over 1m in the G3 Zuma Beach Stakes at Santa Anita (Turf). Significant class drop this time. Should be involved in the finish. SMASH IT (2) travelled on-pace last time out over 5f at Santa Anita and dug deep when pressured but found one better. Is yet to miss the frame from five starts this campaign, including a win. Best form too good to ignore.
