After breaking her maiden in her debut as a juvenile in May, she returned to the races in February to win an optional claiming race at Gulfstream in a front-running effort. Edgard Zayas will be aboard from post position three.
Also in the field and a longshot at 10-1 on the morning line is Coco’s Wildcat for trainer Kathleen O’Connell. A bay daughter of Wildcat Heir, she will be carrying the green and white silks of owner and breeder Gilbert Campbell.
