GRACIE'S BIG DAY (4) recorded a strong maiden win over 5½f at Santa Anita (Dirt) last time, getting there by 1.75 lengths. Looks well placed and she is a key runner. NOSTRI VIRES (6) was well held in the won by Hot Girl Walk over 6f at Del Mar at her last appearance three-and-a-half months ago. Very well placed in this company and looks hard to beat. THIRSTY IN VEGAS (5) could only manage sixth on dirt over 6½f at Santa Anita in a then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 5f at Del Mar more recently. Well placed and can make amends. THIRSTY DESTINY (2) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when fifth over 6f at Santa Anita, beaten 10 lengths. Should be thereabouts.
