BABY NEEDS SHOES (5) got the prize two runs ago at Los Alamitos. Safely held last time out when sixth over 6f at this track, beaten 4. 5 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. DUSTEM TOO (8) was handy on straightening and went on to finish third last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 1. 3 lengths. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MISCHIEVOUS BEV (7) is a progressive three-year-old filly who resumes from a break of five months, her last appearance being a win over 6f at Santa Anita (Dirt) at her only run of that campaign. Has won when fresh from a lay-off in the past. Capable of playing a big role. COTTA RIDE (1) turned in a fine effort to win by 2. 25 lengths at this track and distance last start in a nice progression the when resuming effort. Likely to be there at the finish again.
