BOLT D'VINE (6) led all the way to score on debut over 6f at Santa Anita (Dirt) 11 weeks ago and has not been produced since. Promising type who can go back-to-back. PROFESSORS' PRIDE (2) is a distance specialist who is coming along nicely this prep. Finished fourth when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at Santa Anita (Dirt) then improved and scored over 1m at Los Alamitos (Dirt) a month ago, getting home by 0.1 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Meets a stronger field but she is worth serious consideration. MISS ROCKETTE (5) has not been sighted since she scored over 1m at Santa Anita on May 18. Sure to be competitive. DESERT RHAPSODY (4) showed good early speed over 1m at Santa Anita (Dirt) last time and went on to salute by 6 lengths. Antonio Fresu stays on. Can play a role in the finish.
