JUBILANT JOANIE (2) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 0.3 lengths last time out over 1m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. DISCREPANCY (5) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 5½f at Los Alamitos, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. That followed a win at Del Mar at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. ROMAN EMPRESS (4) last appeared when she finished seventh over 6½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt) on September 14. Sure to make her presence felt. MORNING ADDICTION (6) pushed forward and was a determined winner by half a length over 6f at Pleasanton (Dirt) last time out. Has been in solid form this campaign with two wins to her name. One of the fringe hopes.
