HATTO MERRILY (7) Right up there last start here and back to a longer distance. Has won 2 from 3 starts on a heavy surface. Exhibiting good form since returning from a break. Will be there at the finish. DERMA LA MER (12) Was competitive when 3rd last start here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Shouma Katou is a bonus. Producing consistent results since resuming from a break. Has to be strongly considered. CINNAMON BLUE (10) Came in 5th last time at the track. Is capable of a resurgence. Should be rolling forward early from the wide barrier. Must respect. LAUREL RUNWAY (8) Disappointing effort when 9th last time here. Expecting to settle positively. Appears well in this.
