PROJECT LEADER (6) scored two starts ago at this track (Dirt) then struggled against stiffer opposition last time when 11th over 5f at Del Mar (Turf), beaten 6 lengths. Better placed in this company and is one of the major players. STORMY SAMURAI (4) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on September 29 over 4f124yards when he scored by 1.3 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. PERFECTO AMOR (2) was always well back last time out and never really threatened when seventh over 5½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Good record at this journey with five wins and 11 minor placings from 20 starts and is one of the prime contenders. BIG CHEDDAR (1) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 5½f at Los Alamitos, finishing 7 lengths from the winner. Sure to measure up.
