FORTY NINER GOLD (3) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 5½f at Prairie Meadows (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 2 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Has the class to figure prominently. PAPA'S NICO BOY (1) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage sixth over 1m at this track (Turf). Rates highly on best figures. BAJ (5) is fresh from a lay-off of 21 months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Santa Anita (Turf) over 6½f. In a different yard now. Can measure up at the first run for a new barn. SHUDDER (4) returns from a lay-off of three months and has his first try on a turf track. Opened last campaign with a third over 5½f at Turf Paradise (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Must be respected.
