JUSTIQUE ought to go well and should give backers a good run for their money. Sandy Bottom is facing an easier assignment than last time and is likely to be close at the finish too. Pistol isn't entirely out of it either.

Three wins on the board already. Ran best race when winning by ¾ length in stakes at Santa Anita. Dropped a rung on the class ladder in this race. In there with good claims and surprised if not involved at the finish.
