JETWAY (5) has accrued four minor placings from five runs this campaign. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when runner-up over 1207m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. RUNNING SPARTAN (1) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished seventh over 1006m at Del Mar Turf (Turf). This offers him a great chance of breaking through. THROWTHEFIRSTPUNCH (4) hit the frame two starts ago at Del Mar Turf but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 21 lengths over 1609m at Del Mar Turf (Turf). Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. FUZZY STARE (6) finished 7 lengths from the winner in fourth at his most recent outing over 1006m at Del Mar Turf (Turf). Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
