Group 1 placegetter SOUTHERN DIVINE (8) scored by 0.3 lengths in a at Los Alamitos Qh (Dirt) then filled a placing last time in Group 1 grade at Los Alamitos Qh (Dirt). Down in the weights on last run. Has a solid record at this journey with three wins from 10 starts and should be in the finish. Group 2 winner DOUBLE DOWN 123 (7) clung on to finish third last start over 1f180yards at Group 1 level at Los Alamitos Qh (Dirt), beaten one length. Has the ability to play a significant role. SMYLY (3) was unwanted in betting when resuming last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten 1.3 lengths into third over 1½f at this track (Dirt). Cordarelton J Benn who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Likely improver with strong claims. Group 3 placegetter FLYING SOPHIA (5) is back from a lay-off after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 1f180yards at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino on October 22. Francisco Calderon has been the pilot at her last two wins. Can play a role in the finish.
