GP RACE 10: PAPILIO was among the leading 3-year-old grass fillies on the continent last year before heading to the sidelines in the fall. The Irish-bred is making her first start with Lasix following the successful Mark Casse work pattern of one or two booming drills before an easy breeze to complete her thorough preparation. SWEET DANI GIRL won her season opener in a restricted stakes and should be prominent with her tactical speed.
