He has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f. Finished 10l behind Rocko's Wheel when last of 5 at 14-1 on his latest outing at Los Alamitos Racecourse over 1m last month. Tough It Out was third there so he has work to do.

TOUGH IT OUT was a good way in front of Original Intent when third at Los Alamitos, and a similar performance from him now might be enough to take this contest. Consistent pair Dukes Up and Cabin John, as well as all-the-way Del Mar scorer Kylemore, are threats.
Dam won at 6f. Might leave her ordinary workouts behind now things get serious.

Half-sister to Streak Of Luck, won four times at 6f and 1m. Finished 7l behind I Want One when fourth of 10 at 15-1 on her racecourse debut at Del Mar over 5f in August. That was an encouraging beginning to her career.

SOFI'S GOLD was sent off at odds-on over a furlong further here on the back of a narrow debut defeat, but she didn't come up to scratch. The drop back in distance can do the trick, though, and she is preferred to Flying Business, with Elgofranco the pick of the newcomers.
Dam won at 6f. Well beaten at 12-1 behind Blue Sky Baby when last of 8 on her racecourse debut at Santa Anita over 5f (good) earlier this month. Needs to derive considerable benefit from that and she is wearing blinkers for the first time.

Unplaced in all three starts. Well beaten at 7-1 behind K P Dreamin when last of 7 on her latest outing at Del Mar over 1m in August. The drop in distance might help.

Better is expected from Tacocat now that she cuts back from a route, but WHITE VELVET made a pleasing beginning to her career with a Los Alamitos fourth and will appreciate the extra furlong. Golden Melodie could improve now getting off the turf.
Successful at 5f and 6f on good ground. Finished 6l behind Golden Birthday when sixth of 8 at 22-1 on his latest outing at Del Mar over 1m (good) in August. He needs to raise his game.

He has won four times at 5f on the all-weather. Finished 6l behind Rick's Dream when fifth of 7 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Del Mar over 6f in August. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Jack Carava, and it could rekindle his enthusiasm.

A winner at 4f on the all-weather. Finished 7l behind Forestation when fourth of 5 at 17-4 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m in February. Returns in much less competitive company.

A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Finished 6l behind Prayer Warrior when fifth of 9 at 7-5fav on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 5f earlier this month. Shouldn't be able to gain his revenge, although he is having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Mark Glatt.

A winner at 1m on good ground. Beaten 6l behind Golden Birthday at 8-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Del Mar over 1m (good) in August. He is wearing blinkers for the first time and he has also been gelded. Don't dismiss him lightly.

Prayer Warrior numbered I Belong To Becky among his victims when completing a Del Mar brace, but his hat-trick plans could be thwarted by OCCAM'S RAZOR. The son of Square Eddie hasn't been seen since February but looked a decent prospect in stronger company. First In Show is right in this too.
Half-brother to Dragon Mall, won three times between 1m and 1m 2f. With that in mind, this may be too short.

Not a competitive affair by any stretch of the imagination and it looks an ideal opportunity for NIETZSCHE, who has filled third spot in both previous appearances and can make it third-time lucky. Code Gray and Master Recovery may be the ones to chase him home.
He has won three times at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 7-5fav at Del Mar over 1m (good) in August, beating Juggles by 1 1/2l. No surprise at all if he follows up on his first run for a new stable, previously with Doug O Neill.

A winner at 1m 1f on good ground. Finished 2 1/4l behind River God when fifth of 11 at 33-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) earlier this month. Chance if judged instead on previous Del Mar triumph.

Successful twice at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 3 1/2l behind Moonlight Drive when fourth of 8 at 35-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) earlier this month. That showed some improvement from his American bow prior to that.

Of Good Report showed his appreciation for having his sights lowered by landing a Del Mar contest, while Mystery Messenger and Harmon also arrive in winning form. VOLUBILE wasn't disgraced at all in a better event than this last time, though, and a repeat of that performance might well be good enough.
Winner of five races from 4f to 7f. Finished 4 1/2l behind Spiced Perfection when fourth of 8 at 9-1 on her latest outing at Del Mar over 7f in November last year. Stakes winner in with a massive shout if raring to go.

Show It N Moe It, Love A Honeybadger, Madame Vestal and Hard Not To Love are all proven stakes performers, but none has the potential of ANUKET. The daughter of Pioneerof The Nile showed why Bob Baffert has persevered with her when routing the opposition on her comeback, and she could rise to a very high level.

DUBNATION made a pleasing return from a mid-season holiday when fourth at Los Alamitos, and he can build on that over a more suitable trip. Norski should be up to making him work hard, with An American Jet also one for major consideration.
