CORNELL (3) is overdue for a win with three placings from three outings this prep, the latest effort a third over 1m at Del Mar (Dirt). Key runner who should feature in the finish. RED CROSS KNIGHT (6) is a five-time winner who has been racing well, beaten 0.8 lengths into third last time out over 1m1/2f at Del Mar. Races well here and expected to figure in the finish. KING APOLLO (5) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Del Mar (Turf) over 1m1/2f, beaten 0.1 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Big chance to score. Group 3 placegetter CAISSON (2) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on December 17 when fifth, beaten 7 lengths. Should park just off the speed. Not to be discounted.
