DARLIN' DUCHESS (7) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at her latest appearance over 6½f at Del Mar (Dirt) after she was well back on straightening. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. FLAMINGO STAR (1) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time when she was prominent throughout over 5½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. HEAVENLY PRINCESS (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 12 lengths away in sixth over 6½f at Los Alamitos. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. LONG RANGE PURSUIT (4) didn't do a lot on debut six-and-a-half weeks ago, finishing 16 lengths from the winner in fifth over 6f at Del Mar (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement. No surprise to see her improve sharply.
