CALIFORNIA DADDY (14) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1200m at this track. Expected to cross from wide out. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. PRIMER TALENTO (1) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1000m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. EL COMPANERO (4) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 2.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. FOREVER JOHNNY (5) produced a better run last start, beaten 8 lengths into seventh over 1000m at this track. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
