TIMS (7) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1673m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Wide draw and will need a good steer from Jorge A Vargas Jr. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. PSALMIST (8) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on July 22, finishing fifth and beaten 12 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. CURLY'S AGENDA (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when fourth in a 1609m contest at Del Mar six-and-a-half weeks ago. Faces an easier assignment so he can find the winners' list. QUETZAL ISLAND (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.
