GP RACE 10: SOCIALLY SELECTIVE is a viable single to start the sequence. Well after her blowout debut score at Saratoga, she placed in both of her starts last spring, including an Oaklawn stakes behind future Grade 2 winner Key of Life, before heading to the sidelines. Trainer Bill Mott has won at a 26 percent clip with six-month-plus comebackers at Gulfstream during the past five years, with a return on investment of $3.13. (1)

GP RACE 9: TIME TO DAZZLE was a dazzling debut winner at Woodbine before coming up empty in the Grade 2 Jessamine at Keeneland. She rebounded with a chalky allowance score most recently on Tapeta under Joe Bravo, who’s back aboard for this event and may have her hole card. OZARA brings improving stakes form to this contest while picking up Tyler Gaffalione, who’s 2 for 4 at the meet for trainer Christophe Clement.
