Don't hit me bash (4) missed the placings on debut two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6f at santa anita, beaten 1.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner.Looks well placed so expect another big run.Stagger lee (7) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 6f at santa anita (turf).Open to improvement and looks a serious contender.Who is pavel (6) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months.Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 6f in the g3 best pal stakes at this track (dirt).Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this.Smiling jojo (8) ended up 14 lengths behind the winner in eighth on debut last start over 6f at santa anita (turf).Open to plenty of improvement.Can improve.
