HONDO CROUCH (5) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 11 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1m at Del Mar, beaten 2.25 lengths. This is a nice drop in grade so he can take this out. NEW YORK DREAMS (8) finished midfield when resuming from a break last time out over 5f at Del Mar (Turf) when in the market. Better for that run so he is among the winning hopes. JARAMA (1) was impressive last time over 6f at Del Mar (Dirt), scoring by 4 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Will be in this for a long way. SMOKEM EZ (7) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 1m at Del Mar (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can play a big role.
