Group 2 winner THREE WITCHES (2) was well held in the Derby City Distaff Stakes won by Vahva over 7f at Churchill Downs at her last appearance nine weeks ago. Very well placed in this company and looks hard to beat. Beholder Mile Stakes winner Set Weights EET AZTECA (4) returns from a break of four months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1m at Santa Anita. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. La Brea Stakes winner DADDYSRUBY (9) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate her win at Del Mar to kick off the last campaign. Has a strong when resuming record, scoring on three occasions from three starts. Worth plenty of thought. Group 3 winner CHISMOSA (3) built on a nice third two starts back at Listed level at Santa Anita (Turf) with success over 6f in stakes class at Santa Anita (Dirt) five weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success.
