AUSTERE (1) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1710m in the G3 Gallorette Stakes at Laurel Turf (Turf) after she was in the firing line on the bend. Has further improvement to come and can find winning form this time. SHE'S LOOKIN LUCKY (3) was well fancied last start over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Has a win and four minor placings at this journey from six starts and is sure to go well. FOR LOVE AND HONOR (6) missed the frame on turf over 1710m at Fairgrounds Turf two back then filled a minor placing last start on dirt over 1609m at Churchill Downs. Brian Joseph Hernandez Jr sticks. Expected to measure up. MIWA (5) last appeared when she finished tenth over 1811m at Listed level at this track (Turf) on November 27. Sure to make her presence felt.

Mare returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation second last of 11 at this track in the LR November 27 over 1811m, 5.5 len behind Proctor Street with 55kg at $9.04. Previously first up; fourth of 12 at Keeneland Turf April 25 2025 over 1609m, 4 len behind Sweet Rebecca carrying 53.5kg at $18.33. Capable of a big run.
