Tread Softly won a maiden race at 5 1/2 furlongs on turf at Kyneton Racecourse in Australia in her debut on May 3, a performance that may translate favorably in her first race against winners in a six-furlong handicap for fillies and mares on the synthetic track at Pakenham Racecourse on Friday.
Bettors seem willing to forgive Santa Barbara's loss in the English 1000 Guineas in advance of Friday's Group 1 Epsom Oaks, run at 1 1/2 miles at Epsom Downs, south of London. Once again, Santa Barbara will be favored and races on a track with another testing uphill finish.

A return to Happy Valley should boost the win chances of Helene Wisdom Star, one of a dozen entrants in the nightcap Wednesday at Happy Valley in Hong Kong.
Separated by nine months, Bermadez won his first two starts in Australia with diverse styles last August and on May 12. The lack of a consistent running style is one of the few negatives surrounding Bermadez’s third start in a seven-furlong handicap at Sandown Racecourse on Wednesday. Trained by Michael Moroney, Bermadez will be ridden by Damien Oliver, who was aboard for the maiden race win last year.
