BALDORO (4) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the turn at Del Mar (Turf), finishing eighth and beaten 3 lengths starting at 4/1. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HOT LEGS ROMOLO (5) resumes from a lay-off of 12 weeks and is having his first outing under new trainer Doug F O'neill. Finished fourth at Del Mar (Turf) over 1m at the opening run last time in work. Likely to play a major role. CUPID'S CRUSADER (6) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when tenth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1m1/2f at Del Mar (Turf). Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. ANDREADYTORUMBLE (3) comes here following a win over 1m1/2f at Del Mar eight weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. A bold showing is expected.
