RIVER'S BENCHMARK (7) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when fourth, beaten 9 lengths, over 5½f at Santa Anita (Dirt). Finds a nice race and can take this out. NAUKANAUKA (8) was prominent at the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 4½f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. EVERTORIANO (2) is a 13-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 11 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 4f124yards at this track (Dirt). Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. BELLAGIO BAGS (3) was prominent at the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 3.5 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role.
