PLAYA DEL MAR (9) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1609m at Saratoga (Dirt). Sure to make his presence felt. FILOSO (3) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from three appearances this campaign, finishing half a length away in second most recently over 1710m at this track. Ready to find winning form. SIDEARM (12) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 0.3 lengths over 1710m at this track (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from five outings. Solid top-three chance. CUANDO (4) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
