BERLIN WALL (3) is a talented entire who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1408m in the G1 Malibu Stakes at this track (Dirt). Tiago Josue Pereira who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Expecting a bold showing. CHECK'S ON THE WAY (2) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Del Mar (Turf) over 1006m on November 7. Should be hard to stop. IRISH ROYALTY (5) returns from a spell of nine months and did win first-up last time in work over 1207m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Solid chance. CARDIFF CRACK (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on November 30 when beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth at Del Mar (Turf) over 1710m. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better.
