PHOSPHORESCENCE (4) built on a nice third when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at Del Mar (Turf) with a win over 1m1/2f at Del Mar (Turf) a month ago, getting home by 0.1 lengths. J J Hernandez scored on him last time and retains the mount. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is one of the main contenders. LAHAINA FLAVOR (3) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1m at Del Mar, clocking in 3.5 lengths from the winner. Among the leading chances. JACK KEROUAC (8) has switched yards since scoring by 0.1 lengths at Del Mar over 1m on August 22. Comes here with definite top-three claims. ZALAMO (7) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on July 26 finishing ninth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1m3f at Del Mar (Turf). Backmarker who gets home hard. Solid claims on best form.
