VLAHOS (1) returns from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when sixth over 1308m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Has switched to the Doug F O'neill stable over the break. One of the genuine hopes in the race. SPEED BOAT BEACH (5) was well held in the Santa Anita Sprint Championship won by Imagination over 1207m at this track at his last appearance four months ago. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be in the finish. ST ANTHONY (3) resumed last time out and finished tenth over 1811m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Hard to knock. NESSO'S LASTHARRAH (2) finished a 7 length 11th when resuming last start over 1811m in the G3 San Gabriel Stakes at this track (Turf). Has been in the money at each second up start. Can do better than last.
