MRS ASTOR (2) resumed over 1m3f in the G3 Red Carpet Handicap at Del Mar (Turf) last start and after showing little early speed closed hard to score by 0. 3 lengths. Umberto Rispoli who has three wins when partnering stays on. Best form puts her right in this. HEY JESSIE (6) made a strong late bid only to just miss last start over 1m1f in stakes class at this track (Turf). This is an easier assignment and she can go one better. IMA JOKER (1) was safely held last time when eighth over 1m1f in the G3 Robert J. Frankel Stakes at this track (Turf) against a tougher field than this. Today's rider Hector Isaac Berrios has a decent record aboard this five-year-old mare so she is among the winning hopes. THEBESTISYETTOBE (4) built on a nice third two starts back at this track (Turf) with a win as favourite over 1m3f at Del Mar (Turf) eight weeks ago, getting home by 1. 5 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot score again.
