Lacienegaboulevard was always in the front rank on his second start here last month but had no answer when the winner quickened though he had several of these behind. Shanty Star was two lengths back in fourth but was making his debut so Rashed Bouresly's grey can reverse the form. Raayan finished in front of the former on debut and there's no reason he shouldn't do so again so has to be respected. Doug Watson has three entries and Alda'iya will improve for his opening run. But the newcomers Town Bee, a full-brother to a USA Grade 1 winner, and MOSHAHER, the mount of Pat Dobbs, make more appeal. The latter is a half-brother to nine winners and out of a 6f Dirt winner so is taken to keep up the family tradition.
