Multiple Group 2 winner NOTHING LIKE YOU (4) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 5 lengths away in second over 1m in the G3 Torrey Pines Stakes at Del Mar (Dirt). Steps up a level but she is good enough to take this out. Group 3 winner ALPHA BELLA (1) has switched yards since finishing sixth two months ago over 1m4f at Saratoga. Expecting a big run. Group 2 winner DESERT DAWN (5) finished fourth when fresh from a break over 1m1/2f at Del Mar, 5 lengths from the winner. Tackles a turf track for the first time. Follow up. Multiple Group 1 placegetter FLYING CONNECTION (2) finished third last time out over 1m1/2f at Del Mar, beaten 5 lengths. Goes well at this journey with three wins from five starts. One of the main contenders.
