ROYAL 'N RANDO (4) ran well below his best last time over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt), beaten 7 lengths into fourth at $5.80. Backmarker who gets home hard. Best form puts him right in this. MICI'S EXPRESS (8) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 1.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend as public elect over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt). Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of another big run. CATHAL (9) ran on strongly only to just miss last start over 1609m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. MONGOLIAN MAX (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Los Alamitos, beaten 10 lengths. Strips fitter and can improve.
