BLUE FASHION (2) is resuming from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months and having her first run for the Jose A Gallegos yard. Was in the placings when when resuming from a lay-off last campaign at Del Mar (Dirt) over 1m. Expecting a seamless transition. WIDERTHANAMILE (9) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1. 75 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ASK THE MONARCH (12) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Gulfstream Park six months ago. Among the main hopes on best figures. VESPER CHICKS (1) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a lay-off on November 22, finishing ninth and beaten 10 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). One to consider.
