ROMAN EMPRESS (5) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1m at Santa Anita, beaten 13 lengths. That followed a win at Santa Anita at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. BELLA RENELLA (1) turned in a modest performance when sixth last start over 6f at this track, beaten 12 lengths. That followed a good when resuming win at Santa Anita. Likely improver with strong prospects. SMART KITTEN (8) improved last start to finish second over 5½f at this track after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. JUST A LITTLE LUCK (9) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement and appeals as a solid top-three hope.
