STEAL SUNSHINE (7) is back after a break of ten weeks. Looking to emulate his win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Should be hard to stop. BEACH GOLD (4) scored by 2.75 lengths last start over this journey at this track (Turf). Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and four placings. Among the leading chances. CALIFORNIA FROLIC (6) hit the line nicely when resuming last time to grab third, beaten 0.8 lengths, over today's journey at Listed level at this track (Turf). Nice class drop this time. Well placed and is one of the main contenders. NINJA STAR (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
