CAPTURE THE SEA (4) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.3 lengths at this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. No reason he cannot salute again. LUCKY LAD (5) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 5½f at Pleasanton (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Will need a good ride from Leonel Camacho-Flores off the awkward draw. Has the ability to figure prominently. HAY JUAN (2) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 4f124yards at this track (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. QUIET CHARM (1) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 4 lengths, over 5½f at Pleasanton (Dirt). Can figure in the finish.
