BARNES (3) is a boom three-year-old colt yet to taste defeat in two runs, the most recent win by 5.5 lengths over 7f in the G2 San Vicente Stakes at this track (Dirt). Had plenty on his rivals last time and will go well again. RODRIGUEZ (4) met with solid support last start over 1m in the G3 Robert B. Lewis Stakes at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 4 lengths. Tougher assignment this time but he is likely to feature. JOURNALISM (2) looks to kick off this prep the way he ended the last 11 weeks ago when he scored over 1m1/2f at Los Alamitos. Is yet to miss the placings in three starts, including two wins. Should run very well. BERLIN WALL (6) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 6f contest at this track last time out by 1.5 lengths. Strong top-three chance.
