J B STRIKES BACK (7) is back from a break of 18 months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when fifth over 2012m in the G1 Santa Anita Handicap (Dirt). Capable of playing a major role. CURLIN'S MALIBU (4) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish seventh over 1710m at Colonial Downs (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. REAL FAST (2) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 14 lengths when ninth in a 1710m contest at Ellis Park Turf seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. BESTFRIEND ROCKET (1) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1609m at Colonial Downs, beaten 4 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.
