MELLENCAMP (7) will find this a little easier than his second on debut three weeks ago, beaten half a length at the end of 6f at Santa Anita (Dirt). Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he will be hard to beat. CURVINO (2) started at 9/4 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 2 lengths at this track (Turf) over 1m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RANK (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1m at Santa Anita after being in the firing line on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. JOURNALISM (3) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in third over 6f at Santa Anita (Dirt). Among the chances.
