COMEDY TOWN (3) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 5 lengths over 1207m at Santa Anita (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. OTTO THE CONQUEROR (5) last appeared a month ago over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Mick Ruis stable. Sure to be primed for this. SPECIAL CLUB (6) finished tenth two runs back then improved last start when he worked home well but found one better over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf, beaten 2 lengths. Steps up a level but he is good enough to figure in the finish. HEY BROTHER (4) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 8 lengths over 1106m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. Sure to be thereabouts.

At the latest run sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Los Alamitos on July 3 over 1106m, 3 len behind Rexford with 55kg at $14.40. Before that ran last of 8 at Santa Anita Turf on May 22 over 1207m, 7 len behind Double Jab with 55kg at $16. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.

Most recently got back early 5th of 7 at Los Alamitos on July 3 over 1106m, 8 len behind Rexford carrying 57kg at $4.60. The run before that raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Santa Anita on June 12 over 1207m, 6 len behind Gettinby carrying 56kg at $7.40. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.

At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Churchill Downs Turf on June 18 over 1106m, 2.25 len behind Step Forward carrying 53.5kg at $6.03. Before that 3rd in a small field at Churchill Downs on May 23 over 1308m, 0.9 len behind Five O' Somewhere with 53.5kg at $3.66. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
