HOPE ROAD (3) returns from a layoff of nine weeks. Scored over 6f at Santa Anita at the start of last prep. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. DESERT DAWN (2) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1m1/2f in the G2 Zenyatta Stakes at Santa Anita (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ALPHA BELLA (4) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from four outings this campaign, finishing 1.5 lengths away in second most recently over 1m1/2f at Santa Anita. Sure to be about the mark again. SHOW CARD (7) scored last start in stakes class at Los Alamitos (Dirt) to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has a high cruising speed. Solid claims on best form.
