BALLYVAUGHAN GIG (8) started at 3/1 last time on the back of a win at Del Mar (Turf) two starts ago but was below his best, finishing seventh over 5½f at Del Mar (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the bend. Faces an easier assignment so he is perfectly placed to score. DEVIL AMONG US (4) last appeared seven weeks ago over 5½f at Del Mar when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Antonio Garcia stable. Has ability and should be right in the finish. HOT BOX (6) got the prize two runs ago at Los Alamitos. Not as effective last time out when 11th over 5f at Del Mar, beaten 6 lengths. Ricardo S Ramirez gets the best out of this seven-year-old gelding. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. . Top-three contender.
