Ayaady stepping up to stakes company

Second choice at 7-2 on the morning line is Ayaady for trainer Chad Brown. A gray daughter of Tapit, she will be stepping up to stakes company for the first time.

Javier Castellano will be back in the irons and they will break from the rail as she goes for her second win.

Lady Zuzu may be rounding into form

 

Also in the field at morning line odds of 6-1 is Lady Zuzu for trainer D. Wayne Lukas. A dark bay daughter of Dynaformer, she has one win from six outings and will be trying for her first stakes victory.
