IRISH SPIRIT (NAP) represents the meets current leading trainer and Robertino Diodoro’s charge won a maiden at Santa Anita in February. This looks an easier opportunity than his latest task at the same track and he’s preferred to Potomac. The latter ran poorly when favourite at Oaklawn last time though has decent claims on the best of last year’s form while Momma's Baby Boy finished in front of March West and Gospel Abe when runner-up in this grade here recently. Sedaris is mostly consistent but was drawn low when landing an allowance race on his latest start.
