Lampy boasts a good draw in stall one and is taken to go well, as is Littlebrotherjoey running for the first time since a gelding operation. The gut feeling, though, is that PACIFIC STATES will put his superior experience to good use.

ATOMIC DROP is expected to bounce back to form in this allowance optional claimer for his in-form yard, but keep an eye on Stone's River and Funkenstein.

MONTANA's latest Del Mar second was a huge step up on what he achieved on debut, and he's taken to make it third-time lucky. Tangledupingrey heads the list of dangers from Regulation Dazed.

LEMON SUSHI has done enough in each of his last two starts to suggest a maiden special weight of this nature is well within his compass. Smile For Glory and Magnificent Ride are others to keep an eye on.

This is competitive so just a tentative vote is for the hat-trick seeking TIZ A MACHO GIRL, who was so impressive when last seen at Emerald Downs. Isla Rose, Fairy Tale Bliss and Sky On Ice are just a few others boasting claims.

A BROKEN BREEZE has been knocking hard on the door in recent outings and could be let in here, possibly at the main expense of Starship Defiant and Stateforest.

WELLSWORT broke his duck here in January and appeals as the unexposed quantity in the race. He represents an in-form yard and it is worth chancing his fitness. Flint Stroll and Time To Party are others to consider.

Plenty in with chances here so just a tentative vote is for SHE'S BULLETPROOF on the back of her creditable Del Mar second. Vegan won well last time out and joins Everlys Girl and Keep Your Coil on the shortlist.

A cracker to close the card and it could be worth siding with NONE ABOVE THE LAW, who was last seen contesting the Grade 2 Santa Anita Sprint Championship Stakes. He makes plenty of appeal dropping in class, but keep an eye on The Chosen Vron, who was back to his best at Los Alamitos latest, the progressive Hail Freedom and Aligato.
