KALEA BAY (3) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 6f at Del Mar (Dirt). Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best form puts him right in this. GRINNELL (4) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing eighth at Del Mar (Turf) over 5f, beaten 9 lengths. Anticipating sharp improvement with the run under the belt. DAY AND AGE (5) is appearing for the first time. By Omaha Beach and is out of the Richard E Mandella stable. Respect any positive move in betting. I'M A DUDE TO (1) is a first-starter by The Factor from Gadget Queen who has been a fine producer including winners at black type level. Hails from the strong juvenile stable of Todd W Fincher. Beautifully drawn and should be about the money.
