#5 WILD CAROLINE
3 YO filly really stands out in this spot. She was 3rd vs better two back (4th was Lamazone, a return winner over some in here). In a strong race for the level last out. Sprint to route.

#6 MANGO REWARD
Willing to look past last when she stumbled at the break. Was 8 behind top choice 2 back in a very strong race. She has been facing better. A nice drill since last. One more shot at this level.

#3 SCANDAL 8-1 Smith

#6 SWEETER THANCANDY
Very interesting longshot. She did the same thing off the break in both starts. She took two strides and then had bad action and lost position. She had a big late move in last. Bred to go longer. Dam a 600k turf winner. Stevens been up in the AM.

#9 DYNA STAR
Rallied as a 39-1 debut runner for Hollendorfer. Nice pedigree for the grass. Outworked rail runner on 10-30. Wants longer.

#3 SUNDAY STROLL 10-1 Trujillo

#9 PRECIOUS CAROLINE
Extremely weak field. This one is dropping out of a very tough race. 6th place finisher came back to run 2nd in a 65k allw at 25-1. 3rd and 4th both came back to win vs MSW. Trainer only 3 wins in 61 starts but one of the wins ridden by Stra at 11-1.

#1 ROSA DIVINA
Most likely winner, never been worse than 4th. Holds the top synth Beyer. She may not have enough speed to hold the rail.

#9 FROGGY FRESH
Trainer D’Amato is 3 for 5 going MSW to MC in the last 6 months. The 3 winners came in off of defeats of 18, 30, 31 lengths. Showed confidence giving this filly a try in MSW in her debut. 9th and 11th place finishers came back to win a GG MSW and a SA mc75k. Love the work pattern since her debut, every 6 days.

#3 SEEK SAFE HARBOR
This race winner feels like it will come from a second time starter who improves in their second start. This one was bet in the debut at 7-1. She pressed a fast early pace from the far outside. Clockers say she looks good in the AM. Mora 2 for 6 with maiden 2nd timers.

#4 COUNTING QUEENS
Two-year old filly was working in tandem with debut winner, Great Lou. Great Lou started at this level and won wire to wire by 4 lengths. Great Lou came back to crush again in optional claiming on Thursday as the favorite. Tote may not matter as Great Lou was sent off at 26-1 in his easy debut win.

#9 DISCREET FLIRT
Was in with stakes company in her debut vs males. Came out of that race to run 2nd at Santa Rosa. Both starts with blinkers on were very poor. She popped and stopped each time. Blinkers come off and two very fast works since her last start and both without blinkers.

Absolutely love the breeding for the route. All kinds of route winners on the female tree leading back to millionaire Althea who was 6 for 10 in routes. Miller/Trujillo just had a 2nd timer 2YO go from sprint to a mile and drop to MC and win by 10.

#6 OH NEWMAN
Has been facing much tougher. Good 3rd in last when off at 2-1. Two next out winners from the race two back. Breeding says sprint thought and might be overbet here. Consideration.

#4 LOST IN D SHUFFLE
Got away slow in the debut but found a little something late to split the field. Winner came back to run a close 2nd in the G3 Bing Crosby Sat. Sib, Wild Dude, is a G2 winning sprinter.

#6 ROCKED TWICE
Projects a great trip here behind the likely pace setters in the 2 and 3 post. He won 2 back for 50k here when he stalked from a good tracking spot in 3rd. Baze is a good gate rider and will get him involved. Went with allw type Ethnic Dance in 11-3 work.

#1 VEGAS STREET
Came off nearly a year layoff, dropped in from a 20 length defeat in only start and was claimed for 30k out of the easiest win. He was 4 in front of second who was 5 in front of third. Hasn’t run since but comes back protected. Excellent work tab at SA.

#1 BRACKENDALE
Inside speed has been solid here. This one appears to be the controlling speed and draws the rail. He was 3rd in his debut after breaking last, rushing up and just missing 2nd. Was in a strong MSW last out. He was the only one in the field to run in mdn clm.

#2 WARRIOR’S RIDGE
Was 2nd last time in for a tag and he was a length in front of Expo and Fig (a winner of two straight since and beat the top pick by 7). 7 of 11 in the money and all three times Desormeaux has been up. He has a lot of works since his last start. Looks fit.

1 FARINGDON CIRCLE
Really like her two races in Southern California. She closed into a speed favoring track in her last start but couldn’t catch a highly regarded 1ster for Glatt who was bet down from 9-2 and had little problem wiring them. 4th in that race was comeback winner, Sky Mega, who won with authority in MSW at DMR at a mile in her next start. Female tree produced 1994 Queens Plate winner and millionaire, Basqueian.

5 DAKOTA KID
Deferring to the clockers on this one. Thy really saw something in her last few moves at Santa Anita. Apparently she has been finishing strong in those works. Proctor is 13% in this spot with first timers. Will be better with a race under her belt though.

Was 2nd in both starts for the sharp team of Hess/Desormeaux. He was 2nd best to a MSW dropper in last and that winner took a lot of early and late money so he was well meant. Clockers were very high on this one prior to last. Doesn’t face much in here for this 50k level.

6 DUDLEY STUDLEY
Hendricks just so-so with 2YO debut maiden claimers (1 for 13 in So Cal). The winner he had was here at DMR last year and won by over 8 lengths (works similar). In for 10x sire price. Check early betting.

Only one start for this first time gelding and it was a huge effort. He spread the field out in a maiden win at PID. The field wasn’t too bad. The 2nd place finisher had previously been 3rd in a 100k Juvenile race at TDN and came back to run 2nd in MSW. Former Pletcher asst trainer has won 3 of last 5 starts. Solid works for this.

6 OH BROTHER GO
Was far back early but made up late ground at SA on a track that was favoring speed. Really like the effort two back when 3rd at this level at 11-1 at SA. Last time on a synthetic track was 3 back at BHP (about a year ago) and he won easily. Likely needed last off the layoff. Better.

1 WARRIOR’S RIDGE
He has faced and beaten much stronger fields. His second three back was a big effort as that race has come back strong. There were 5 next out winners, including 1st and 3rd who won 2x since. Desormeaux 4 for 4 ITM on him. Likes this track. Will need to find a running lane in the stretch as he has little speed from the rail.

2 TAKEIT TOTHE LIMIT
Best early speed in the race and this track has been favoring speed at the sprint distances. He was 2nd to a runner that returned to run 2nd at 16k NW2L next out. He has responded well to Pedroza in the last 4 starts (3 seconds and 1 third). Will be sent and look to wire the field.

Race lacks a true front runner. With the rail, he might be sent early to control this. Martinez was up for his last win and he broke 1st in that race. 8th beaten 10 from last is the only runner to come back to run and he won easily. Honest for level while others have physical issues. Pace edge.

4 CRAVING CARATS
Miller has a 2 win lead on the training title going into the final day. This drop might be a bullet he held to get an easy win. He has 1 win but 5 seconds from 6 starts when dropping in half in claiming price and at this 8k level. 0 for 2 on synthetic, one was here. Drop makes him a player.
