Group 1 placegetter MUSICAL MISCHIEF (5) built on a nice second two starts back at Listed level at Pimlico (Dirt) with a win as favourite over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) six weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Steps up a level but she is good enough to figure in the finish. Group 2 winner TAXED (3) stuck on well to finish third last start over 1m1f in the G2 Fleur de Lis Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 1.3 lengths. Won't find this as tough so she can play a big role. MYSTIC PLEASURE (1) was an emphatic winner last time over 6½f at this track (Dirt) with this rider Florent Geroux engaged. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. FANCY (7) scored last start at Churchill Downs (Dirt) to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Should park just off the speed. In the mix.
