SINE QUA NON (4) is back after a break of nine months. Looking to emulate his win at Santa Anita when returning from a lay-off last prep. Has switched to the J P Divito stable. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. SAWYER FOX (1) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 7½f at this track (Turf) at his latest appearance. Should park just off the speed. Expected to be in the finish. SHAKE UP (2) started at 6/4 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths at this track (Turf) over 5½f. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to take this out. GOOD TO BE PRINCE (9) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 6f at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
