UNCLE LEON (2) showed good pace over 905m at this track (Dirt) last time and defied all challengers to score by 2.5 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. NOT MY RODEO (3) saluted at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when fifth over 905m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Nicely placed to return to winning form. SMARTY NOSE (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 19 when beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 1207m. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. RUNNING TIGER (1) won at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing sixth over 905m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time.
