INFAMOUS ANGEL (6) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the bend before being beaten 8 lengths into fourth over 6f at Pleasanton. Faces an easier assignment so he is a leading player. PROMISE ME KAT (5) finished out of the money two starts back then she was never in contention and was beaten 33 lengths when eighth in a 6f contest at Santa Anita three weeks ago. Faces an easier assignment so she is set to turn things around. SHANKADOPOLOUS (1) broke his maiden last start over 4f124yards at this track (Dirt), scoring by 0.1 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. E Hernandez was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again. CIOPPINA PASADINA (3) was safely held when seventh last start over 6f at Santa Anita, beaten 16 lengths after a good win on debut at Los Alamitos. Worth plenty of thought.
