EPIONE (2) finished fifth over 1609m at Del Mar (Dirt) at her most recent appearance on August 1. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Genaro Vallejo. Rates highly and should take some beating. LIQUID SPIRIT (5) was well in commission last start over 914m at this track (Dirt) when fifth, beaten 8 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. ROMAN EMPRESS (3) finished third two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 914m at this track (Dirt). Salvador R Vargas scored on her last time and retains the mount. Goes up a rung or two but she is good enough to figure in the finish. DRAW ME (1) was below her best last time when sixth over 1308m at Del Mar (Dirt), beaten 7 lengths. Nicely placed to bounce back.
