EMPIRICAL (1) has returned in good order this campaign. Won her maiden first-up over 1106m at this track (Dirt) then finished second over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last time. Winning rider Kevin E Orozco stays aboard. Fitter and a likely improver. BOBS HONEY (4) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing third, beaten 3 lengths, over today's trip at Santa Anita (Dirt). Has the ability to take this out. COMPANY GIRL (3) is ready to win after collecting her fourth minor placing in a row last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Can measure up again. SWEET SMILE (2) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1106m at this track, beaten 10 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
