SOUTHERN OCEAN is the only two-time winner in the field and looks to be headed in the right direction for Mike Lauer. Look for him to track the leaders and try to run by them in the stretch run. PERFECT JOISKI has raced on 3 different surfaces in as many starts, but got his lone win on the dirt. Manny Cruz, who was aboard for that win, regains the mount today for trainer Kenny McPeek.

He’s been given a short break by trainer Al Stall and may be a little more relaxed for his second route try. This Pulpit colt still might be any kind and is the choice in this Allowance affair. WORLDLY is a 4-year-old that has hit the board in 3 Graded Stakes. He has a solid chance.

This Successful Appeal colt has worked well since shipping here and figures to be running from off the pace under Robby Albarado. TYRUS needed his last one and can improve here.

He was a close second last year, then came back to win the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint in the fall. He’s the one to beat today.

He didn’t have the best of trips in the Arcadia last time out and has a right to improve today if he can draw into the race. Slight edge.
