Gamine is now 2-5 to get the Del Mar punters off to a flying start. Bella Sofia, who is rated 6lb behind the favourite by the sages at the Timeform organisation, is the only real danger to the favourite according to the betting. She is a Grade One winner, in the Test Stakes at Saratoga in August, and followed up with this success in a four-runner Gallant Bloom Handicap at Belmont Park in late September.
