HANKERING (9) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1106m at Santa Anita (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. MEEKING (8) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Los Alamitos (Dirt), finishing fourth and only 1.1 lengths from the winner at the end of 1006m after being in contention on the turn. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. BENEFICIAL (10) is fresh from a spell of nine months and did hit the frame when last resuming at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. In a different yard now. Among the better hopes while fresh. HARBOR CODE (6) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1308m at Santa Anita Turf, beaten 3 lengths into fourth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
