INSTINCT D' ORO (2) was a most impressive winner last time over 5½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt), scoring by 7 lengths. Should park just off the speed. Likely to feature. SO I'M TOLD (4) has switched yards since finishing third a month ago over 1m at Turf Paradise. Expecting a big run. SEATTLE BREAKOUT (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on December 14 when beaten 4 lengths into fifth at Los Alamitos (Dirt) over 1m. Meets some better types this time but a big run will not surprise. ANNIVERSAIRE D'OR (3) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over this journey at this track (Dirt). Steps up a level but he is up to the task.
