ANTIBES (2) resumes from a lay-off of four months. Could only manage to finish eighth at the latest run over 6½f at Santa Anita (Turf). Looks the one to beat. RED ON SUNDAY (1) hit the frame with a 7 length third on turf at Del Mar two starts back. Disappointed last time though, again on the turf, at Del Mar over 5f when 4.5 lengths from the winner in sixth. Will be hard to beat back to the dirt here. LAST CALL PAUL (3) could only manage second as favourite last start over 6f at Del Mar (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the bend, making it nine minor placings from 15 starts this campaign. Capable of taking this out. DRIVE FOR SHOW (5) again failed to feature last start, finishing eighth and beaten 7 lengths over 5f at Del Mar (Turf). Leading prospect on best form.
