MISS FRAULEIN
Trainer: Peter Miller
Last race: Dec. 11, 7th
Finish: 7th by 13 1/2
Beyer: 49
Pace-pressing filly hopped when gates opened, broke last by many lengths, eliminated. She made a middle move on the turn, then flattened out. Fits in similar N1X allowance.

BRUJA ESCARLATA
Trainer: John Sadler
Last race: Dec. 12, 3rd
Finish: 1st by 3 1/2
Beyer: 82
Debut filly shot to the lead from the inside post, opened up, and cruised in maiden-40. Street Boss filly eligible to starter allowance at Santa Anita, will be the one to catch.

MY HAPPY GIRL
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Last race: Dec. 13, 3rd
Finish: 3rd by 4 1/2
Beyer: 73
Entry-level allowance comebacker was only prepping in N1X sprint won by her odds-on stablemate. Lagged at rear of field, lost ground, finished evenly, may want two turns.

TRINA
Trainer: Jonathan Wong
Last race: Dec. 13, 8th
Finish: 4th by 3 1/2
Beyer: 60
Hounded through extreme pace in California-bred N1X sprint, this claiming filly battled to deep stretch before tiring. Can improve from outside post, perhaps with slight class drop.
