(# 5) OCEANUS - Poor race sprinting "down the hill" in last. That was the first time off the Art Sherman claim, and he now sends former stakes runner back to the poly surface. Ran well over Hollywood and Del Mar's new polytrack, so maybe he'll fare well here.

(# 3) Island Launch - Nakatani takes the reride on Mike Mitchell runner who set all the pace in latest before tiring badly late. Best races are from just off the lead, and think they'll revert to that today.

(# 7) Dr. Einstein - Best early speed on view, and Hollendorfer runner should clear without much resistence. Has been freshened up for the past two months. Runs well off the bench.

(# 1) Refusal - May offer some exotics price as he tends to sneak under the radar at the windows. Plodding type may pick up a piece if the speed comes back.
