PACIFIC ROSE (1) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1m1/2f in the G2 Starlet Stakes at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Has ability and can get off the mark. AVOIR (4) resumes from a lay-off of four months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1m at this track (Turf). Set for a bold return. CRITICISM (6) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten 18 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give backers a great sight. PACE LANE (5) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Peter Miller. By The Factor from Cool Flame. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
