EAST AVENUE (4) was well held in the Breeders Cup Juvenile won by Citizen Bull over 1m1/2f at Del Mar at his last appearance three-and-a-half months ago. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Leading contender. BUILT (9) boxed on to finish second last start over 1m1/2f in the G3 Lecomte Stakes at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.3 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. JOLLY SAMURAI (11) is coming off a last-start ninth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1m1/2f at this track. Genuine galloper with three wins from five starts. One of the contenders. JONATHAN'S WAY (2) resumes after a break of 11 weeks. Did win at his only other when resuming run when on debut, scoring over 6f at Saratoga. Has found the right race and is worth including.
