MAXIMUN GOLD (3) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 6 lengths from the winner in fourth at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 6f. Expected to finish much closer with the race experience on board. NO BAD BEATS (5) is on debut for the Doug F O'neill stable. Two-year-old filly by Midnight Storm from Miss Cobblestone. Looks set to run well. Betting holds the key. JUST AS FANCY (6) failed to threaten on debut last start, finishing in the second half of the field and 9 lengths from the winner over 6f at Santa Anita (Dirt). Better for that hitout and is one of the main contenders. ALANIS (2) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at her second outing, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in second over 6½f at Santa Anita. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
