VALENTINO CARTEL (10) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at Retama Park (Dirt) over 1f130yards, beaten 0.8 lengths. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and four minor placings from six outings. Among the leading chances. SOME ONES DIVA (4) was prominent on straightening and stuck on well to finish third last start over 1f130yards at Retama Park (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. VIVO (8) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Retama Park nine weeks ago. Nestor Duran stays aboard. Capable of running a bold race. JESSA KISSIN YOU (3) broke her maiden last start over 1½f at Retama Park (Dirt), scoring by 0.8 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Claudio Ponce Aguilar who was on board last start. One of the likely contenders despite the step up in grade.
