Smart horse. 69/10, career best when winning 10-runner Grade 2 Pat O'Brien Stakes at Del Mar (7f) by 3¾ lengths from American Theorem. Off 17 months. First run for yard after leaving Bob Baffert. Sets the standard but will need to be fully tuned up on return.

Forecasts

Laurel River (11/10), Colour Up (3/1), Mouheeb (4/1), Leading Spirit (8/1), Rawy (14/1), Freedom Fighter (28/1), Magic Petition (50/1), Beolmaui Star (80/1), Wirko (100/1)

Verdict

COLOUR UP is on a good run of form and looks up to winning this. It would be folly to ignore Laurel River, but he has a lengthy absence to overcome and may have to settle for a minor role. Mouheeb may prove best of the rest.
