GOOD FOCUS (6) was prominent from the outset and fought on for second last start over 6f at this track (Synthetic), making it two minor placings in a row. Wide draw and will need a good steer from Santos Rivera. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MR BIG BUCKS (4) switches to synthetic for the first time. Finished 8 lengths back in fifth on dirt over 4f124yards at Los Alamitos Qh most recently. Worth following up. ALPHABETICAL ORDER (5) ran below expectations last time at this track (Synthetic), finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths starting at 5/1. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. CARDINAL TRICK (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. F Alvarado gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
