NAY V BELLE (5) built on a nice second two starts back at Santa Anita (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 6f at this track (Dirt) five weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Lanfranco Dettori scored on her last time and retains the ride. Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success. Multiple Group 2 placegetter INTO CHAMPAGNE (6) was safely held last time when seventh over 1m1f in the G1 Kentucky Oaks at this track (Dirt). May appreciate the step back in journey this time. Well placed to make amends. Group 2 placegetter ASTERNIA (2) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 7f in the G2 Eight Belles Stakes at this track (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. TANYA SHOWERS (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 6f at this track. Looks to be in the right race so she should be in contention again.
