EMPIRICAL (5) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage fourth last start, beaten 7 lengths over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Should settle up near the speed. Expected to prove tough to beat. NEPHELE (7) could only manage second as favourite last start over 1m at this track (Dirt) after being well positioned to strike on the bend, making it 11 minor placings from 15 starts this campaign. Likely to feature. SEXZIE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Santa Anita, beaten 17 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the turn. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. MISTY MALIBU (10) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at this track but couldn't back it up last start when seventh, beaten 18 lengths, over 6f at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with top-three prospects.
