NAFTIS (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fifth in a 1609m contest at Los Alamitos a week ago after being in contention on the turn. Has the class to put the recent run of form behind him. B GRAYSON (2) finished second two runs back at Del Mar (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by half a length over 1106m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish again. PIPER'S CAUSEWAY (4) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1006m at Del Mar Turf, beaten 2.75 lengths into seventh after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. GYPSY TEARS (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1106m at Los Alamitos, beaten 5 lengths into fourth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.

Recent form sound. Most recently won by 0.5 len at Los Alamitos on September 11 over 1106m defeating Opus Uno with 56.5kg at $5.10. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Del Mar on August 15 over 1207m, 11 len behind Vancougar with 56kg at $3.10. Meets a small field and looks tough to beat.
