An open Group Two. IN THE AIR TONIGHT has a decent chance on the figures and looks worth a wager. Tenma could hardly be in better hands and could well emerge as best of the rest. Non Compliant merits respect as well.

Verdict
Having first run when landing spoils by 1½ lengths in maiden special weight at Del Mar. Comes here in good form and merit of last effort was underpinned by the clock. Claims don't look as strong as a couple of others but new distance should help.

Winner of both races so far. Improved from debut when successful in Grade 1 at Del Mar by short head on latest outing. Barn's record at this level a major positive. Blinkers are fitted for the first time here.

Second of 6 first time up. Much the same form when successful in maiden special weight at Del Mar by 5 lengths only outing since. Makes limited appeal against this opposition.
