DULY NOTED (7) returned from a break last start and drifted well back before closing powerfully to score over 5½f at Fresno (Dirt), getting home by a nose. Will prove tough to hold out again. VICTORIA'S CHARGE (6) was a most impressive winner last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), scoring by 5 lengths. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring three times and placing on two occasions from eight starts. Should be hard to stop. LADY GREGORY (2) really dug deep to score by half a length three runs back at Santa Rosa (Turf) before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Pablo Flores who has scored on her five times retains the mount. Capable of running a bold race. STRANGE ADDICTION (8) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 0.6 lengths, over 6f at this track. Has a decent record at this trip with four minor placings from five tries and deserves respect.
