LONESOME STEW (4) is a talented type yet to taste defeat after two runs this campaign, the latest over 5f at Del Mar (Turf). Antonio Fresu retains the ride. Should be in the finish. OUR BUCKY CHARM (8) resumes after a break of eight months. Did win at his only other when resuming run when on debut, scoring over 5½f at this track. Has ability and should be right in the finish. DEVIL AMONG US (9) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when second over 6f at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Can cross and take up a prominent position. Generally performs well here and has registered three minor placings. Should be involved in the finish. DUTY FIRST (11) did a great job to score by half a length over this course and distance when when resuming from a lay-off last time out. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
