LONESOME STEW (3) is a promising type who finished in the placings over 6½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt) at his last appearance on December 15. Has won when fresh from a lay-off in the past. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. HONDO CROUCH (2) was prominent from the outset when second over 6½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt) last time out. Should be prominent again. JERRY'S SPIRIT (5) turned in a modest performance when third last start over 1m at Santa Anita, beaten 3 lengths after being prominent at the bend. That followed a good when resuming win at Los Alamitos. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. BARTHOLDY (1) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 9 lengths at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 6½f. Should figure in the finish.
