CALI BAY (14) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back at Santa Anita (Turf) with a win as public elect over 1m at this track (Turf) three weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths.Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge.Group 1 placegetter SANTO DIOS (10) is a genuine five-year-old entire who resumed with a solid second last time out at Santa Anita (Turf) over 1m.Among the leading chances.LEGISLATOR (2) accounted for a maiden field over 1m at Santa Anita (Turf) last start, finishing one length ahead of the nearest rival.This is tougher but he cannot be underestimated.Group 3 winner MALTESE FALCON (5) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 5 lengths away in 11th over 1m1f at Santa Anita.Finds a nice race and can make amends.
