The lightly-raced Peace Taker was biting off more than she could chew on her first run for Joan Scott here in March. She should fare better in this company, though still tends to fight for her head. SUGAR FIX looks a more straightforward conveyance and it is hard to fault the consistency of Michael Dini’s filly, who will be happy to be back on Turf after last month’s second on Dirt. Sayyida Al Hurra hinted at a revival at Gulfstream Park last time and Matinee Girl had Melissani back in third when returning to winning ways in March.
