SGT POWELL (2) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fourth over 6½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt) after he was prominent at the bend. Has further improvement to come and is worth following up. NAUGHTY NIKO (4) settled towards the rear and failed to threaten in the straight last start when fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over this course and distance. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. WICKED FACTS (1) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 4½f at this track (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. LEGITTIMO (6) scored on debut last start over 4f124yards at this track on June 16 finishing half a length ahead of the nearest rival. Credentials hard to knock.
