Prize Money: $98,315

DARYA (6) was having her first run for the Philip D'amato team last start when she made steady ground to run into second over 1609m at this track (Turf) at the first run back from a spell. One of the genuine hopes in the race. TIPITAP (3) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 3.5 lengths from the winner in sixth at this track (Turf) over 1609m. Progressive type who can play a role. MASS (1) stepped out on her debut over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt) three weeks ago and finished sixth, beaten 15 lengths. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well. NERIDA (2) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track (Turf) over 1609m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.

Was well-supported at debut, ran last in a small field at Santa Anita on March 1 over 1609m, 15 len behind Brooklyn Blonde with 55.5kg at $3.60. Sure to improve and can measure up this time.

Third-up today. First-up 7th of 10 at this track on January 11 over 1207m, 3 len behind Struck By Her carrying 55.5kg at $26.30. Second run from a spell crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 6th of 11 at this track on February 21 over 1609m, 4.5 len behind Essential Lady carrying 55.5kg at $21. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

Last start 4th of 7 at this track on January 23 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Tiyara carrying 55.5kg at $7.70. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.

Third race start. Promising on debut 3rd of 13 at Dundalk All Weather on September 26 over 1408m, 1.3 len behind Yellowstone Lake with 58kg at $51. Went for a spell before returning 2nd of 11 at this track on February 21 over 1609m, nose behind Essential Lady carrying 55.5kg at $6.90. Improver with winning prospects.
