Comment: Managed two wins in her last six outings; close up second at Los Alamitos Race Course, finished ahead of Illhaveanotherkiss 33 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; one to note as best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively.

Comment: Beaten a fair way when sixth at Los Alamitos Race Course (dropped back to 6½f) four weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; possesses winning form at this track; been generally quiet since successful in an allowance optional claimer at Santa Anita five months ago; claiming value rises from $20k last time; may have to settle for supporting role as now looks to be past her prime.

Comment: Has chalked up two wins from her last three; bumped at the start at Los Alamitos Race Course over 6f (claimer) 33 days ago; now a lower claiming tag ($10k from $12.5k) so down in class; rates a likely contender.

10/1

Comment: Not beaten far when close behind Stellar Cap at Los Alamitos Race Course four weeks ago on first run for current trainer in a claimer; has winning track form; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Comment: Found life tough when 10l back in fifth in a claimer at Los Alamitos Race Course 33 days ago; does not win very often and possible that there's no more in the locker; calmer waters here (in for $10k, $20k tag last time); is passed over.

Jockey: Efrain Hernandez Trainer: Genaro Vallejo Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 772753

50/1

Comment: Quite a while since she tasted success and may not have any more improvement left; out of the frame (beaten 6l in third) in a claimer (Los Alamitos Race Course) last month; up in class (in for $10k); unlikely winner.
