DESERT GATE (1) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Won only start here and expected to go close. KRISTOFFERSON (6) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 6f at Del Mar (Dirt) five weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and can win again. CIVIL LIBERTY (4) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 7f in the G1 Del Mar Futurity (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. One to consider. PLUTARCH (3) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 1m in the G3 Del Mar Juvenile Turf Stakes (Turf). One of the contenders with the blinkers added.
