RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: CALABASAS (7) put it all together and got back into the winners’ circle impressively last start. She has always had ability, but her manners have been an issue. If she gets everything right again, she can go back-to-back. FRENCH MISSILE (5) returned with a first-up win as a three-year-old last start. She raced at the top level as a two-year-old and looked eye-catching on her return. She takes on the older horses here. BANOS (8) has had three career starts for two strong wins. In his only defeat, he galloped. He looks a progressive type. GIGGLE WATER (1) has been racing well and has the ideal barrier to take advantage of her gate speed and map well. Also noting SKYVALLEY BOY (9), who is first up here for Ashley Manton and has some ability. He has galloped three of his last four but will be competitive here if he trots throughout.
