TEMPTING ALIBI (4) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by a nose last time out over 1f31yards at this track (Dirt). Sound record at this distance with five wins and three minor placings from 11 runs and is a key runner. Group 3 winner RGS GOLD WAGON (6) returns from the paddock after closing last prep with two consecutive wins, the most recent over 1f130yards in Group 3 class at Retama Park (Dirt). Takes on much easier opposition this time. Leading contender. JESS STAR STRUCK (1) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest offering a fourth, beaten 0.9 lengths, over 1f130yards in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Nice class drop this time. Should measure up in this field. Group 1 winner SAN LENCHO (3) returns after a break of 11 weeks. Excels when fresh with three wins from as many starts including a win over 1f130yards at Remington Park at the start of last prep. Sound prospects.
