Ward filly was awesome at Belmont; couldn't hang on in Queen Mary but was gritty in France, albeit against lesser

N.Y.-bred filly disappointed in stakes debut at Saratoga, but then impressed at Woodbine; needs pace ahead of her

Dueled early and still almost pulled off a 20-1 shocker in the G3 Futurity first time on grass; turnback to 5F may suit

Maiden was nailed on the wire by Elevado in average-looking maiden event; this would be a very ambitious spot
