ZIO JO (8) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2.5 lengths away in second over 1m at Del Mar (Turf). Enjoys a drop in grade so he is likely to play a big role. KING APOLLO (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was prominent throughout over 1m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Meeting a deeper field this time but he can win if at his best. CODE DUELLO (6) had been in top form landing three consecutive wins but last start missed the frame when fourth over 5f at Del Mar (Turf). Has a high cruising speed. Will be in this for a long way. MICI'S EXPRESS (1) lines up for the first time since January 13. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 4½f at this track. Can make his presence felt.
