MAN CHILD (6) returns after a spell of nine weeks. Looking to emulate his win at Del Mar at the beginning of last prep. Boasts a first-up record of two wins and two placings from six starts. Sure to make his presence felt. PLAYER B (7) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1006m at Del Mar (Turf). Untried at this journey but strips fitter and is among the main hopes. TOUGHERTHANTHEREST (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when sixth in a 1207m contest at Santa Anita seven weeks ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. ZOMBO BOMBO (5) was a gutsy winner two runs back then ran second over 1308m at Del Mar (Dirt) on November 2. Armando Ayuso stays on. Worth including in calculations.
