Malibu June went backwards in much tougher races last year and has her first start since June but three of these found only one too good on their latest outings. Rebel Rumble was narrowly beaten in an easier contest here while West Coast Broker finished second over a mile but RAHAAL has the stronger form. Shipped-in from Oaklawn, Jody Pruitt’s charge missed out by only a head here when dropped into this grade last time and can open his account. Jimmy Winne finished behind the selection while Austin Calling drops in class on his first outing since August.
