A field of nine was entered for Wednesday’s $90,000 Wickerr Stakes, featured event for the start of the second week of the summer season.

No Jet Lag, a four-year-old son of Johar,  returns to the site of an August 11, 2013 victory in his U.S. debut. Trained by Simon Callaghan and to be ridden by Corey Nakatani,  No Jet Lag followed the Del Mar victory with another in the Grade II City of Hope at Santa Anita then finished off the board in three Grade I or Grade II stakes there and has been unraced since February 1.

The Wickerr field from the rail out: Boyett (Tyler Baze, 121), Dry Summer (Fernando Perez, 121), Te Rapa (Mike Smith, 119), Bright Thought (Rafael Bejarano, 121), No Jet Lag (Corey Nakatani, 121), Safety Belt (Joe Talamo, 121), Barocci (Victor Espinoza, 121), Lil Bit O’Fun (Aaron Gryder, 121), Rangi (Kent Desormeaux, 119).
