BUCKS ACTION (7) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at Del Mar (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 3 lengths. Fitter and capable of taking this out. TEXAS WILDCAT (2) has not been a factor of late. Two starts back could only manage tenth over 1207m at Del Mar. At the latest run he failed to complete the course at Del Mar. Cannot be written off. BATTLE SCHOOL (6) was in contention on the corner and finished third last start over 1106m at Del Mar (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Has the talent to figure prominently. KORE KINETIC (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at Del Mar, beaten 18 lengths into fifth. No surprise to see him in the mix.
