HAPPY JACK (2) Placed in a Group 1. Turned in a good effort last time out when resuming from a layoff, finishing 0.8 lengths away in second at this track over 6½f. The small field will suit his racing pattern. Hard to hold out. Group 3 winner BIG CITY LIGHTS (4) is a talented five-year-old entire who resumes in an easier race than his final run last prep when successful over 6f in the G3 Palos Verdes Stakes at this track (Dirt) four months ago. Has a strong record when fresh from a break. Has a high cruising speed. Expecting a bold showing. DR VENKMAN (1) resumes after a break of seven months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 6½f at Del Mar. Capable of playing a major role. TAHOE SUNRISE (3) is having his first run since December 30. Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 1m at Del Mar at the start of last prep. Worth plenty of thought.
