Group 2 placegetter MC VAY (9) is a talented colt who was well held last time out in the tougher Santa Anita Derby won by Stronghold over 1m1f at this track, beaten 14 lengths into seventh. Hasn't been far away this time in work with two minor placings from four starts. Expected to be in the finish. FAME (2) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound third over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with bright prospects. WINTERFELL (7) has raced twice. Was fifth on debut then clocked-in 6 lengths from the winner in third last time out over 6f at this track. Should park just off the speed. Big chance to break through. METRO (4) finished midfield last start on debut over 6f at this track (Turf), beaten 6 lengths when well supported. Likely improver who can feature in the finish.
