Apple Blossom Handicap winner ADARE MANOR (2) has not raced since she finished off last campaign with a strong win over 1m1f in the G2 Santa Margarita Stakes at Santa Anita (Dirt) ten weeks ago. Form at this distance is strong with four wins from six starts and is right in this. Group 2 winner SCYLLA (3) has three wins and two minor placings from five starts this campaign. Scored last start by 0.3 lengths in the G2 Fleur de Lis Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1m1f after being prominent upon straightening. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. Group 2 winner DESERT DAWN (5) is having her first look at a turf track and resumes off a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Kicked off last campaign with a fourth in the G1 Beholder Mile Stakes at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 1m. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give backers a great sight. Test Stakes winner PRETTY MISCHIEVOUS (8) filled a minor placing when resuming at Churchill Downs then was again in the money, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1m1f at Saratoga most recently. Tackles a turf track for the first time. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Should give backers a sight.
