CODE DUELLO (1) proved too strong two runs ago at Los Alamitos. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 6f at Santa Anita, beaten 6 lengths. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including five wins. Faces an easier assignment so he is a leading contender. ALPHABETICAL ORDER (2) is in top form, most recently recording a win by half a length over 5½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt) to make it two in a row. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best form puts him right in this. PROJECT LEADER (5) has four wins and two minor placings from nine starts this campaign. Scored last start by 1. 3 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 3f213yards after being racing in the leading division. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. DIAL A FRIEND (3) did a great job to score by one length over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose.
