MR MACHUPICCHU (3) finished third last start over 6f at Santa Anita (Turf) to make it five minor placings from eight runs. Has been in the frame at both appearances at this circuit. Ideally placed to open his account. CHARMZ AWAY (1) was a placegetter on dirt over 6f at Santa Anita in a but missed the frame on turf over 6f at Santa Anita last time. Sure to be thereabouts and can find best form again here. BIG NOTION (7) will find this a little easier than his third on debut four weeks ago, beaten 7 lengths at the end of 5f at Del Mar (Turf). Promising type with improvement to come so he is among the leading chances. SOGNO DI VINO (4) faced the starter for the first time and finished seventh last start at Del Mar (Turf) over 5f, beaten 14 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply.
