BIRTH OF COOL (8) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the J P Silva barn. Finished off last campaign with a win at Los Alamitos (Dirt) three-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but goes well fresh from a lay-off, filling a placing two times from five runs. Can make a winning return. ARREST (11) raced on the speed last time and finished third over 1m at this track (Turf), the second minor placing from as many runs this prep. Among the major players. MONGOLIAN MEMORY (2) finished 3.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 6½f at this track three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Can play a big role. OWHATARUSH (1) finished eighth over 1m at this track (Dirt) last time out following a determined win when fresh from a lay-off two runs back. Luis R Reyes who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Deserves respect.
