Solid Appeal - Reade Baker trained multiple graded stakes winner and Sovereign Award winner as Canada's top turf female won three of six starts last year - an Allowance at Keeneland, the 2013 Nassau Stakes in upset fashion and the Grade 2 Dance Smartly Stakes July 7 - both stakes wins at Woodbine.

Her only start this year was a fifth behind Sisterly Love among others in the Grade 3 Doubledogdare Stakes at Keeneland April 18. Solid Appeal will be looking for a repeat win on her favorite turf track but enters in less-than-spectacular for. She starts from gate 2 with Jesse Campbell in the saddle on the 122 pound highweight.

Sisterly Love - has 13 career starts for trainer Mark Casse - seven wins. The biggest of which came last time out - a win over Moment in Dixie and Solid Appeal (who finished fifth) in the Grade 3 Doubledogdare Stakes at Keeneland April 18 after an Allowance score on that same track April 4 win wire-to-wire fashion. She also won the Grade 3 Ontario Matron Stakes on this track in her first try on turf in July. Other good results include a win in the minor Trillium Stakes on this track in June and a second in the minor Belle Mahone Stakes in August. Sisterly Love struggled toward the end of 2013 but has looked good so far in 2014 - two straight wins ahead of the Nassau this weekend. Stewart Elliot gets the call from post 4.
