DON'T HIT ME BASH (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 6f at Los Alamitos after being prominent at the turn. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. RHINO (7) returns after a lay-off of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1m at Santa Anita. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. TOPSTITCH (9) is a talented gelding who was well held last time out in the tougher won by Code Duello over 4f124yards at this track, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Is going okay this campaign, recording two wins and three minor placings from seven starts. Expected to be competitive. IMMELMANN (6) finished ninth over 6f at Los Alamitos (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on September 14. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
