RHINO (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when ninth over 6½f at Santa Anita, beaten 8 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. BERT'S PROSPECT (2) was below his best last time, finishing eighth and beaten 6 lengths over 1m1f at Santa Anita (Turf). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. BOWTIE BOYS (5) scored an overdue maiden win last time out, getting home by 0.1 lengths over 1m at Santa Anita (Dirt). Shaping up nicely and he is one of the main chances. BIG DRINKER (3) improved last start to finish second over 1m at Santa Anita. No surprise to see him in contention.
