SHADY STRIPES (8) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1106m at this track (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. ALIX (7) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when seventh, beaten 13 lengths, over this journey at Del Mar (Dirt). Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. CRYPTO CRUSH (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when sixth over 1609m at Del Mar (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. INORBIT (1) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing sixth over 1308m at Emerald Downs last start. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and is a key contender.
