LITTLE CASINO (4) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Golden Gate Fields, beaten 5 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the corner. Steps up a level but he is capable of running a bold race. R M C HOOK'EM (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Golden Gate Fields, beaten 2 lengths into fifth. The engagement of Brayan Pena is noteworthy. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. MINDSHARE (3) has switched yards since finishing third six-and-a-half weeks ago over 4f124yards at Los Alamitos Qh. Comes here with definite top-three claims. SMOOTH PAPA (5) was beaten 6 lengths into sixth in a 6½f contest at this track last time out. Well placed to bounce back.
