MY ITALIAN BABBO, by Papa Clem
Trainer: Ricky Agarie
Last race: Feb. 11, 3rd
Finish: Second by nose
Beyer: 69
A 4-year-old first-time starter, he was best in this Cal-bred maiden route. Off slowly, trailed by many, finished fast. With a clean start next time, he should be tough vs. similar maidens.

ENCHANTING LADY, by Tale of the Cat
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Last race: Feb. 11, 6th
Finish: 1st by 4 1/4
Beyer: 86
This was a smashing N2X win; her figure does not do her justice. She could be among the elite female sprinters this year, with her long-range goal the Grade 1 Humana Distaff on May 7 at Churchill.

GUTSY EFFORT, by Don’tsellmeshort
Trainer: Mike Puype
Last race: Feb. 13, 2nd
Finish: 2nd by 6 1/4
Beyer: 44
This debut gelding was only prepping in this Cal-bred maiden $50,000 claimer. Off slowly, not asked, in traffic, finished willingly. Tab for improved effort next time out.

CRIMSON AND GOLD, by Distorted Humor
Trainer: Paddy Gallagher
Last race: Feb. 13, 5th
Finish: 2nd by 1 3/4
Beyer: 66
This debut 3-year-old filly was not quick, raced greenly, bumped rival in lane and was fortunate to not be disqualified. She ran like she needed a prep race; sure to improve with racing.

RIZZI’S HONORS, by With Distinction
Trainer: Dan Blacker
Last race: Feb. 13, 5th
Finish: 3rd by 2 1/2
Beyer: 64
Overlooked at 33-1 odds, this 3-year-old filly first-time starter sped inside, dueled though a fast pace, and weakened late. Second time out, she could prove tough to catch.

LADY VALEUR, by Multiplex
Trainer: Paddy Gallagher
Last race: Feb. 13, 9th
Finish: 1st by 5 1/4
Beyer: 76
Stretching to a route for her second U.S. start, this maiden unleashed a big turn of late speed to run away from the field. Much promise, follow up the ladder.

MOONLIGHT DRIVE, by Red Rocks
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Last race: Feb. 15, 3rd
Finish:1st by 3 1/4
Beyer: 85
This Italian-bred, French-raced import made a stylish U.S. debut in this 3-year-old N1X turf route. He tracked the pace and uncorked a big late kick to win for fun. Next stop, stakes.
