LIAM SMITH (5) finished off last campaign with a win over 1308m at Santa Anita six months ago. On a turf track for the first time on his return. Emisael Jaramillo has been the pilot at his last two wins. Bold showing expected. DECAPO (3) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) with success as public elect over 1308m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) two months ago, getting home by 3.5 lengths. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. NOT A SINNER (2) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a nose away in second over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) after being prominent from the outset. Going up a level this time but she cannot be left out. HOTHEAD (1) is a promising galloper who saluted at his only run last prep 11 weeks ago over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Ricardo Gonzalez who has two wins when partnering stays on. Can play a role in the finish.
