JOHNNY B (5) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 0.1 lengths into second over 1006m at Del Mar (Dirt). Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. PROUD DANIEL (1) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 6 lengths from the winner in fifth at Del Mar (Dirt) over 1106m. Plenty of scope for improvement and worth following up. DIAMOND TORNADO (3) was beaten just 0.4 lengths last start and landed his first top-three finish in the process at Los Alamitos (Dirt) over 1106m. Looks close to a win and is among the main chances. THE MOE SHOW (2) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Los Alamitos (Dirt) over 1106m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Returns from a 30-day let-up. Most recently set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 8 at Los Alamitos on September 12 over 1106m, 0.4 len behind Never Obey carrying 55.5kg at $25.50. The run before that 6th of 8 at Del Mar Turf on August 6 over 1006m, 11 len behind Golden Sentry carrying 55.5kg at $35.70. Nice effort last time so worth following up.

Raced two times to date. At debut, came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Del Mar on August 1 over 1006m, 2.25 len behind Keepsmesane with 55.5kg at $6.90. Last start gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 10 at Del Mar on August 23 over 1006m, 0.1 len behind Club Fighter carrying 55.5kg at $2.90. Racing well. Has strong claims.

Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Last start ran second last of 8 at Los Alamitos on September 12 over 1106m, 13 len behind Never Obey with 55.5kg at $5.90. Before that 3rd of 10 at Del Mar on August 21 over 1106m, 1.75 len behind No Limit carrying 55.5kg at $20.90. Can do a lot better than that last run.
