(2) Blue Oasis
3Armando AyusoTim YakteenA winner at 1m on good ground. Beaten 6l behind Medoro at 35-1 when last of 9 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) in December last year. Best watched on her return from a long break.
(3) Platinum Diva
3Jose Valdivia JrV CerinShe has won three times at 1m on good ground. Finished 5l behind Pace Lane when fourth of 6 at 11-2 on her latest outing at Del Mar over 1m (good) last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Paula Capestro, when missing her hat-trick. More to do in this more valuable contest.
(11) Super Enticing
3Tyler BazePeter MillerSuccessful at 6f and 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 6-1 at Del Mar over 1m (good) on her latest outing last month, beating Sweet Laker by 1 1/2l. Upped in grade which may find her out.
(5) Shin Jidai
3Kyle FreyLeonard PowellSuccessful twice at 7f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 8l behind In Theory at 16-1 when 9th of 12 on her latest outing at Del Mar over 1m (good) in July. Likely to do better now after her first start since arriving from the UK.
(1) Lamporghini
3Edwin MaldonadoDoug O'NeillSuccessful twice at 1m on good ground. Finished 9l behind Antifona when fifth of 7 at 9-2 on her latest outing at Del Mar over 1m (good) last month when she didn't get the best of runs. One to consider assuming she gets a clear run early on to get near the front.
2nd (8) Paradise Lake
3Juan HernandezP EurtonA winner at 6f on good ground. Finished 4 1/2l behind Invincible Molly when last of 5 at 11-5fav on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) in May. Upped in trip for her first start in over three months.
(7) Alluring
3Umberto RispoliR MandellaA winner at 6f on good ground. Beaten 3l behind Visually at 18-5 when seventh of 8 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) in May. Trying a new trip which makes her more interesting.
(10) Queen Maxima
3Reylu GutierrezJeff MullinsDam won three times at 5f and 6f. A winner at 11-2 at Del Mar over 5f (good) on her debut last month, beating Blissterinthesun by 1 3/4l. Intriguing alternative stepping up in trip for her second start.
4th (4) Sneaker
3Kazushi KimuraGeorge PapaprodromouSuccessful twice at 1m on good ground. Beaten 4l behind Moment's Pleasure at 16-1 when seventh of 11 on her latest outing at Del Mar over 1m (good) last month. Out of stakes company now and this ought to prove easier for her.
3rd (6) Loterie
3Antonio FresuPhilip D AmatoA winner at 1m on good ground. Finished 5l behind Iscreamuscream when sixth of 10 at 13-1 on her latest outing in the Grade 2 San Clemente Stakes at Del Mar over 1m (good) in July. Maiden winner who should have more to offer.
1st (9) Raw Ability
3Hector BerriosJohn SadlerHalf-sister to Mid Day Rush, won at 6f. A winner at 40-1 at Gowran Park over 1m (good) on her sole outing in June, beating Quatrain by 1 1/4l. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with E McNamara in Ireland. Unknown quantity and worthy of a market watch.


Queen Maxima has to be of some interest arriving after winning her maiden with ease and with the step up in trip expected to suit. However, she still has something to prove and it seems safer to go with LOTERIE. Not beaten that far in a Grade 2 in July, she may find this level more to her liking. Lamporghini, Alluring and Shin Jidai are others to consider.

3Diego HerreraAntonio GarciaHalf-brother to Elusive Act, won four times at 6f. Finished 14l behind No More Ding Dongs when sixth of 7 at 25-1 on his racecourse debut at Del Mar over 6f last month. Held by runner-up Smokem If U Gottem but entitled to improve for the experience.

3Victor EspinozaBrendan GalvinHalf-brother to Miss Jo's Candy, won at 4f. Beaten 8l behind Chromeflash at 22-1 when eighth of 10 on his racecourse debut at Del Mar over 5f (good) in July. More to do to have any say.

4th (1) Trotsky
3Kyle FreyJose HernandezPlaced twice in seven starts. Beaten 14l behind Zip Om at 14-1 when seventh of 9 on his latest outing at Del Mar over 5f (good) last month. Better judged on his June second and not without a chance.

3Mario GutierrezEdward FreemanPlaced twice in six starts. Finished 3 1/2l behind Chromeflash when fourth of 10 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Del Mar over 5f (good) in July. Rapidly running out of excuses.

3Antonio FresuDoug O'Neill$10,000 Conquest Farenheit colt, dam unraced. Working well and the market may be the best guide to his chances.
3rd (4) Majestic Palisades
3Armando AguilarDean PedersonMajestic Harbor half-brother to Ceiling Crusher, won six times between 5f and 1m including a Grade 1 race. Looks one of the speedier newcomers.
(8) Smokem If U Gottem
3Tyler BazeBrian KorinerPlaced in all three of his starts. Beaten 4 1/2l by No More Ding Dongs when second of 7 at 1-2fav on his latest outing at Del Mar over 6f last month. One too good for him on every start so far but this could be his best chance yet.


Newcomers Sir Rocket, Majestic Palisades and I'm Ripped have all been working well enough to suggest big debut efforts. That said, experience counts for plenty and that points to the chances of SMOKEM IF U GOTTEM. Second on all three starts, this may be his best chance yet.

3Joseph TalamoR EllisSuccessful twice at 1m on good ground. A winner at 13-1 at Del Mar over 1m (good) on her latest outing last month, beating Cameron Slough by 2 1/4l. This is more difficult.

(6) Hannah Buckle
3Armando AyusoLeonard PowellA winner at 11-2 at Del Mar over 1m (good) on her latest outing last month, beating Helga Brandt by 1 1/2l. May prove competitive up against this tougher opposition.

3Mike SmithPeter MillerA winner at 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten a head by Antifona when second of 7 at 11-5fav on her latest outing at Del Mar over 1m (good) last month. Has every chance.


ESPRIT ENCHANTE missed out by only a head at this level on her latest start and the Tapit filly looks the safest bet in an open contest. Hannah Buckle and Watchtower are both capable of further progress and look worthy of a place on the shortlist.

3Victor EspinozaS KnappYet to place in three starts. Finished 10l behind Western Grit when sixth of 11 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Del Mar over 5f last month. Having his first run for a new stable and others preferred.

3Tyler BazeJohn SadlerBeaten 9l behind Maldonado when sixth on his racecourse debut at Santa Anita over 6f (good) in May. Best watched on his reappearance.
3rd (6) Bowtie Boys
3Armando AyusoTim YakteenPlaced twice in six starts. Beaten 6l behind Here Comes Braylon at 22-1 when seventh of 10 on his latest outing at Del Mar over 6f last month. No surprise to see him feature in the finish.

3Antonio FresuDoug O'NeillPlaced in three of eight starts. Beaten 17l behind Here Comes Braylon at 13-2 when last of 10 on his latest outing at Del Mar over 6f last month. Drops in class in the hope of improvement.

4Kazushi KimuraM GlattUnplaced in all four starts. Finished 6l behind Here Comes Braylon when sixth of 10 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Del Mar over 6f last month. Worthy of consideration.
(13) Candy's Wildcat
4Abel CedilloRobert HessPlaced twice in four starts. Beaten 14l behind Western Grit at 17-2 when eighth of 11 on his latest outing at Del Mar over 5f last month. Reserve.
(14) Sunset Storm
3Kyle FreyVal BrinkerhoffUnplaced in all five starts. Third of 6 behind Takamakahara beaten 2 1/4l at 9-1 on his latest outing at Los Alamitos over 4f last month. Reserve.


CAPTAIN SPARROW should be sharper for last month's comeback run and may prove the one to side with in this lower grade. Bowtie Boys wasn't far behind the selection and can also get involved, while Fast Chaz has the past form to be competitive.
