DESERT GATE (5) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 5f at Santa Anita (Dirt) eight weeks ago. Promising type who can go back-to-back. PUNTO FORTY (2) was quickly into stride and kicked strongly to score over 5f at Los Alamitos (Dirt) last time. Winning jockey stays aboard and is a top chance. ST PETERSBURG (3) was on debut at Los Alamitos (Dirt) last start where he made a sustained run and finished third, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 5f. Will benefit from that experience and is among the winning hopes. PAVLOVIAN (4) showed good early speed over 5f at Santa Anita (Dirt) last time and went on to salute by half a length. Must be respected.
