San Quentin bids for a hat-trick of course and distance victories but a further 6lb rise may anchor him. A LITTLE BIT DUSTY is preferred as he was beaten only a length over track and trip last time and can race off the same mark today. Napoleonic steps up in trip after a fourth over 1m1f here while Wildomar has been beaten out of sight either side of scoring over 1m6f at the track. None of the others make any appeal in their current poor form.
