FARLEY HALL (1) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1m at Santa Anita, beaten 8 lengths into ninth. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. FREEDOM OF SPEECH (2) resumes from a lay-off of 11 weeks. Could only manage to finish eighth at the latest run over 1m at this track (Turf). Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. PROBLEM SOLVER (3) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 5½f. Cesar Ortega has registered two minor placings when on board. Certainly one to consider. SIR NANO (6) is a two-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 5½f, beaten 3 lengths. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
