SAN JAC (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.6 lengths from the winner in third over 4½f at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. NAUGHTY NIKO (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.75 lengths when fifth over 4½f at this track two weeks ago. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HOMER WELLS (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Pleasanton (Dirt) over 5f. Finds a nice race and can make amends. STORMY JOE (3) was beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth in a 4½f contest at this track at his latest appearance. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
