WOW THAT'S HOT (5) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 2.5 lengths back in third over 1710m at this track (Turf). Worth noting Erik Asmussen goes aboard. Placed to advantage and can take this out. KENDAMA (1) could only manage eighth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at Laurel, beaten 0.8 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. DOMINANT SPIRIT (3) drifted back and never threatened when sixth last start over 1609m at Remington Park (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MALIBU S S (8) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at Remington Park, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
