PANTAGES (5) finished out of the money two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten 7 lengths when ninth over 1106m at Santa Anita two weeks ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. SMOKEM HOT GIRL (3) resumes from a spell of 11 months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt). Bold showing expected. COTE BLANC (1) is a eight-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 4 lengths when fourth over 914m at this track (Dirt). Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. FURIA (6) turned in a moderate debut over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) on March 14 when she was safely held in 11th, 13 lengths from the winner. Open to plenty of improvement. No surprise to see her improve sharply.
