COMMENTS: LANE WAY usually makes a strong mid move and has hit the board in four of five on Del Mar grass. COULTHARD drops from a Grade II. His typical race would be good enough here. TURN ON THE JETS is not that far from being undefeated in three since arriving from Ireland. HOT BOX has three wins in four at the distance.

COMMENTS: QUICKLY PARK IT won her last by 6 lengths and should be better in her second start off the break. THEBESTISYETTOBE ran the highest last race speed figure and is another expecting more in the second off the break. LIGURIA travels from the east coast for trainer Chad Brown who wins at 27 percent with shippers. SELL THE DREAM goes back to a mile where she has a pair of seconds in two tries.

COMMENTS: CABO SPIRIT can show some brilliant late pace and is hard to beat when he does. WAR AT SEA is a length and head from winning five in a row. HANDY DANDY has three wins and two seconds in five on Del Mar grass. WIT missed as the favorite in his last. Trainer Todd Pletcher rebounds at 26 percent.
