NAP (2) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but weakened to finish fourth over 1m at Del Mar (Turf). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. ONE SMOKIN DUDE (8) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished fourth after being in the firing line on the turn at his last appearance over 5½f at Del Mar (Dirt) on November 24. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. GOT SOUL (4) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound second over 6f at Pleasanton (Dirt) after being in contention on the corner. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is capable of testing his rivals. TEN FIGURES (6) finished 14 lengths away in eighth at his last appearance over 5f at Del Mar (Turf) on November 15 after he got a long way back in the run. Worth plenty of thought.
