    Race Analysis

    YURAK (8) made a promising debut over 1m at Del Mar (Turf) on September 5, finishing a nose away in second and has not been produced since. Looks to have a future so she looks the one to beat. VELVET DREAM (12) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 6½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt) after she got a long way back in the run. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. SURFIN' U S A (5) has been freshened up since she finished tenth over 1m at Del Mar (Turf) six weeks ago. Better than last start and can feature. ESSENTIAL LADY (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at Del Mar, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
