A FRIEND OF MINE (1) is back from a lay-off of nine weeks. Closed last prep with a fifth, beaten 18 lengths, over 6½f at Del Mar. Perfectly placed to score. GATHERED (4) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 4 lengths when seventh over 1m at Del Mar (Turf). Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. JOYFUL MISCHIEF (3) again failed to feature last start, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths over 6f at Del Mar (Dirt). Among the chances on best figures. DEEP BLUE (2) is appearing for the first time. By Echo Town and hails from the Daniel A Blacker stable. Top-three chance.
