RUNNING SPARTAN (4) finished third last start over 1006m at this track (Turf) to make it six minor placings from 13 runs. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three two times. Won't get too many better chances to break through. FUZZY STARE (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2 lengths when fourth over 1006m at this track four weeks ago after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SMASHING MACHINE (6) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Bob Baffert. By Charlatan from Overjoyed. Expected to feature. MICHAEL (1) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Peter Miller. By Maclean's Music from Navy Lady. Top-three chance.

Previously second-up ran second last of 10 at Santa Anita Turf on March 7 over 1207m, 20 len behind Parnelli Jones with 55.5kg at $68.20. Must improve significantly.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 29-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 7 at this track on July 23 over 1006m, 0.6 len behind Bullwhacker with 56kg at $4.60. The run before that led but faded 3rd of 9 at Santa Anita Turf on May 31 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Maximon carrying 57kg at $5.20. Winning chance after a narrow defeat last start.

The run before that ran second last of 8 at Churchill Downs Turf on June 25 over 1609m, 21 len behind Fuzzbuster with 53.5kg at $32.27. Showed enough last start to suggest he can take this out.
