HER STRUT (8) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage fourth last start, beaten 9 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has the addition of blinkers. Rates highly on debut effort and should go well. I'M SMOKEN HOT (10) changes rider since being well held last time in fifth over 1609m at DEL MAR Turf (Turf) on July 30. Can bounce back. NOT SO MERRY MARY (1) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 4 lengths from the winner in sixth at DEL MAR Turf (Turf) over 1006m. Drew wide last time but has the inside gate here. Capable of much more this time. SAUCED UP (3) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 1006m at DEL MAR Turf (Turf), beaten 2.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run.
