PILOT COMMANDER (1) Finished well when winning last run around here and gets a favourable draw. Juan J Hernandez rates highly aboard. Strong performance expected. FORT BRAGG (2) First up from a spell. Ran home strongly to win last start at Del Mar Thoroughbred and has a positive draw. Shows good closing speed. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. SPIRIT OF MAKENA (3) Proven record when resuming. Looked outclassed when 9th last run here. Should improve from the last run. Keep in mind. VLAHOS (5) Was outmuscled when 3rd last run here. Should race on the speed. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. One of the hopes.
