RED CROSS KNIGHT (6) has switched yards since scoring by 0.3 lengths at Santa Anita over 1m on May 19. Best figures put him right in this. BIG HAT WILLIE (2) has had mixed fortunes in two runs this campaign, both on turf. Scored fresh at Santa Anita but then missed the frame when fourth at Santa Anita over 1m2f six-and-a-half weeks ago. Record at this journey is strong with two wins from six runs and can get the job done. SHORTMAN (4) gave the leaders a start last start and made little impact in the straight when fifth, beaten 5 lengths, over this journey at Santa Anita (Turf). Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. JACK SIXPACK (5) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Santa Anita, beaten 2.5 lengths. Strips fitter and can improve.
