PAVEL'S ETOILE (5) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 5f at Santa Anita (Turf). Going well and is sure to measure up. CAYUCOS (2) is a two-year-old filly facing the starter for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Omaha Beach from My Due Process. Sure to be well-educated, being from the Richard E Mandella stable. Beautifully drawn and looks certain to be competitive. BUDS N SUDS (1) settled well back and made a little late ground when 5 lengths away in seventh over 5f at Los Alamitos (Dirt) on debut last start. Has upside and can measure up. GOBERNADORA ELY (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at Los Alamitos, beaten 9 lengths into ninth. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
