No. 3 Loyalty (5-2) smartly captured her first two all-weather sprints and raced wide from the outside post as the beaten favorite in the Alywow Stakes on turf July 9. She is back on winning footing and should make her presence felt throughout. 

No. 7 Majestic d’Oro (9-2) chased, got the lead and stayed clear in the Alywow Stakes on turf at Woodbine July 9. She cruised in an all-weather sprint at Turfway Park March 18 and is a logical contender in her current form. She has yet to run two alike. 

No. 9 Sequin Lady (8-1) ran well in her last four all-weather sprints in Florida, and she improved her speed ratings in her last pair. She might be able to get a piece of the purse.
