Robertino Diodoro’s yard remains in red-hot form and NOCTURNAL MISSION looks the one to beat in this. She’s gone close over shorter trips in more valuable claimers the last twice now and won at Delta Downs when last racing over today’s distance. Silky Appeal scored at Turf Paradise earlier but has yet to win over a mile in eight attempts and Bella Kristina may prove a bigger threat with a recent run under her belt. Moro Compass won at Remington in December and has a shout on that form.
