MITICO (1) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third when resuming last start over 6f at this track (Dirt). Drawn to stalk the leaders. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PATRON D'ORO (7) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 6½f at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. HANDR'SDREAM (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 6f at this track after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. EL DIABLO ROJO (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2 lengths away in second over 4f124yards at Los Alamitos Qh (Dirt). Well placed to figure prominently again.
