BENTORNATO (1) defied his big price last time when beaten just half a length into second over 6f in the G1 Breeders' Cup Sprint at Del Mar (Dirt). Should be in the finish. WINTERFELL (3) is in sparkling form, scoring at his last three starts, the latest win coming over 7f at Listed level at Laurel (Dirt). Hard to deny on recent efforts. MYSTIK DAN (6) returns from a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6½f at Keeneland. Comes here with definite top-three claims. RAGING TORRENT (8) finished a 6 length seventh when resuming last start over 6f in the G1 Breeders' Cup Sprint at Del Mar (Dirt). Has been in the money at each second up start. Should be much improved.
