(# 2) Celtic Fable - Runner has been idle since winning here on New Years Eve. Has run well off this type of layoff before and all works indicate that he is ready to fire again off of the short rest. Expensive yearling started to run much better when blinkers were added to the package in July. Throw out the turf and Polytrack races and runner looks even tougher. Sharp break is a must and should be positioned about two to three lengths off the leaders and on the rail before launching a bid.

(# 1) Fortunate Prophet - Plummets in class for second start back off of short layoff. Lisa Lewis runner draws the rail and has enough speed to make it tough on anyone else who wants the top. Major jockey switch from Antongeorgi to Gryder.

(# 4) R Spring Affair - Gelding makes the trip from Northern California to make first start ever at Santa Anita. Comes here in good form and has a proven tractable form which is to his advantage in here. Negative is the trainer switch off the claim to Valerie Rhoden who probably won a shake when gelding was dropped in for $10,000.

(# 5) Diamond Miner - Another of the many who may try for the top in this sprint. Brings a sub 34-second work into this race so that appears to be the case.
