HARD TO FIGURE (7) was well fancied last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Sound record at this distance with two wins and two minor placings from six runs and is a leading contender. JOINT VENTURE (6) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at DEL MAR Turf (Turf) over 1609m last time, finishing sixth and beaten 4.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. MIGHTY KAI (3) is having his first run since winning by 2.5 lengths five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1609m at this track. Has transferred to the Antonio Garcia stable over the break. Can measure up for the new barn. GEOMETRY (5) turned in a better run last start, beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth over 1710m at DEL MAR Turf. Finds a nice race and can atone.
