TAKE ACTION (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.25 lengths when fifth over 1m at Santa Anita six-and-a-half weeks ago after being in the firing line on the corner. Has the talent to find the winners' list. KELL'S BELLS (3) was below his best last time when sixth after being prominent at the bend over 6f at Sam Houston Park (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so he will be hard to beat. BLOCKED (4) missed the frame when resuming two runs ago on dirt when eighth over 5½f at Sam Houston Park. Moderate effort last start on turf when unplaced over 1m1/2f at Sam Houston Park. Nicely placed and worth following up back on dirt. AMERICAN WARRIOR (7) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at Sam Houston Park, beaten 4 lengths into ninth. Well placed to make amends.
