The superbly-bred Frankincense has run poorly in two starts on testing ground and is tried in a tongue tie. Wishing Star has only looked moderate and is vulnerable to an improver though the remainder with experience have shown little. However, STELLA D'ORO, a $250,000 son of Sea The Stars, could be good enough to make a successful start. Treasure Rock is a half-brother to five winners and out of a winning miler on Dirt so he's another to watch out for.
