No. 1 Adventuring (4-1) returned with a prominent throughout stakes victory in the slop Aug. 6. She captured the Dueling Grounds Oaks at this course and distance last year under Tuesday’s rider Joel Rosario, and she should be forwardly placed in a race lacking front end speed.
No. 8 Family Way (3-2) is a consistent mare with $813k in career earnings. She stalked and scored in this race in 2021 and captured the Orchid (G3) at Gulfstream Park earlier this year. An outside stalking trip is anticipated.
No. 4 Flippant (6-1) failed to fire in the Yellow Ribbon (G2) at Del Mar Aug. 13. She reconnects with her winning rider Rafael Bejarano and should appreciate the added ground of this race.
