STARK CONTRAST (2) has not raced since he finished second over 1609m at Del Mar on October 31. Goes very well at this trip with two wins from three starts. Will prove hard to beat. PLUTARCH (5) had a bit on his rivals last time out, scoring an impressive 4.5 lengths maiden win over 1811m at Del Mar (Turf). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Nicely placed to double the win tally. UNRIVALED TIME (4) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1609m in the G3 Cecil B. DeMille Stakes at Del Mar (Turf), getting home by 0.8 lengths. Winning rider Diego A Herrera retains the mount. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. IRISEACH (3) finished second last time out over 1609m at Del Mar, beaten 0.8 lengths. Sure to be competitive.
