First-up after 7 months and draws barrier 1, she resumes off a Santa Anita Maiden Special Weight 1207m run on 13 Oct when prominent throughout before finishing 7th of 12, 3.6L behind Helga Brandt at $15. Prior start at Churchill Downs over 1006m saw her run on late for 8th of 12, 7.5L, also at $15. Maps to use the inside draw and the extra 402m looks a reasonable setup off that on-pace effort.

Second-up and back out 301m after a Santa Anita Maiden Special Weight 88 where she sat handy from barrier 2 and finished 4th of 7, 4.8L behind Subatomic Law at 57kg. Her prior run was a 2nd of 17 over 1609m at Leopardstown (3Y MDN, SP 7) when beaten 0.5L by Banner Beauty. The step back toward a mile looks suitable given that placing at the trip.

Second-up and draws barrier 3 with blinkers added, she sticks to the mile after a Gulfstream Park Maiden Special Weight 87 where she sat 2nd throughout from barrier 6 and faded to 5th, 4.8L behind Integrity at 55.5kg. Her prior run at Gulfstream over 1710m in a Maiden Optional Claiming 68 was a closing 3rd, 2.5L off Mis Brunellas at SP 13. With 54.5kg today and a soft map from the draw, she has the platform to hold a handy spot and be competitive.

Lightly weighted at 54.5kg and drawn well in barrier 4, she profiles to get a handy run for Ricardo Gonzalez. Michael W. McCarthy has her set with no noted gear changes, and her Wootton Bassett–Signora Cabello pedigree suggests scope at this stage of her 3YO season.

Ultra-consistent filly with four 2nds from five starts, including both runs at 1609m (2:0-2-0). First-up off 110 days and drops to 54.5kg with cheek pieces added, having last finished 2nd at Dundalk over 1609m on 20 Feb (3Y FILLIES MDN, 58.5kg, 1.5L, SP 2.62) behind Lady In Gold. Drawn barrier 5 again and profiles to be around the mark.

Third-up and back slightly in trip to 1308m, she draws barrier 6 after racing handy then fading for 6th (6.1L) in a Santa Anita Maiden Special Weight 88 on 24 Apr carrying 57kg. Previously ran 2nd of 6 over 1207m here on 20 Mar (MSW 87) at $4, closing from midfield behind Rethink. Genuine placing claims if she can settle and finish as she did first-up.

Proven at Santa Anita with a consistent record here (7:0-4-1) and fourth-up off a solid 2nd over 1811m in a Maiden Special Weight on 10 May, beaten 1.5L by Victorious Dream (IRE) after settling midfield. Drops 202m back to 1609m where he’s placed twice, and adds blinkers with 57kg from barrier 7. Reliable placer with another honest showing within reach.

Third-up and stretching back out 301m to 1609m, she owns a solid distance record (2:0-0-2) including a 3rd at Santa Anita on 21 Feb over 1609m (Maiden Special Weight 90), beaten 2.1L at $3.7 behind Essential Lady. Last start she drew the rail and finished 5th of 11 over 1308m at Santa Anita, 3.35L off Peppermint Dash, and now gets Joel Rosario with 54.5kg. Consistent place-getter with a Santa Anita/1609 profile to run well again.
