RED DIAMOND (6) returns from a layoff of nine months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 6f at this track. Rates highly and should take some beating. PUTT FOR DOUGH (2) travelled in a rearwards position then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 5f at Del Mar five-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Solid winning chance. ANNIE'S HOPE (1) is a last-start winner over 1m at Del Mar (Dirt), showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by one length. Should figure in the finish. MISTY MUPPET (4) transitions to a turf track for the first time. Returned from a lay-off last start with a minor placing over 6f at Del Mar, beaten 5 lengths. Armando Ayuso stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Can play a role in the finish.
