CANADA GATE (4) is back from a lay-off of five months. Was narrowly beaten at his only appearance when last in work at Del Mar (Turf) over 1m1/2f. Should settle handy in the run. Expecting a bold showing. EXTENSIVE (6) registered his first win last start over 1m at this track (Dirt), getting home by 4 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Kyle Frey was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Capable of taking the next step. FOWLER BLUE (5) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by 2.75 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). Among the main hopes. GAVEA (1) returns from a lay-off of ten months and did score when resuming when last in work at this track (Dirt) over 1m. Lines up for the first time for the Daniel A Blacker stable.
