Race Tip
ASADA FRIES (8) finished 0.8 lengths away in fifth last time out over 6f at this track when fresh from a lay-off. Steps up in distance. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. STOP DIGGING (5) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish second last start over 1m at Del Mar (Dirt), beaten 1.3 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so she is a major player. SHARP RIDE (1) finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6½f at Del Mar six weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Reunites with jockey Abel Cedillo who knows her well, including two wins while aboard. One of the contenders. PROFESSORS' PRIDE (7) improved last start to finish second over 1m at Los Alamitos. Another forward showing is anticipated.
