Robert LaPenta's SO FANCY (Tapit) faces the starter in this juvenile debutante heat from the Rudy Rodriguez barn. Out of a stakes-winning daughter of GI Humana Distaff H. heroine Mayo on the Side (French Deputy), the chestnut was snapped up for a sale-topping $500,000 from the 2015 Fasig-Tipton July Sale. The presence of a Wesley Ward 2-year-old always adds some intrigue and the trainer–who currently sports a mark of three winners, three seconds and a fourth from seven first-out juvenile starters through Tuesday–will saddle Brian Kahn homebred Lady Stardust (Union Rags). Out of a stakes-placed dam, the 4-5 morning line chalk is the first starter to represent her GI Belmont S. and GI Champagne S.-winning sire. TJCIS PPs

Brant Laue colorbearer SAGE HALL (Cape Blanco {Ire}) returns to the races after a debut win going 1 1/16 miles over the Saratoga lawn last July. Out of the stakes winner Cayuga's Waters (Langfuhr), the homebred is a half-sister to GII Vagrancy H. heroine Glorious View (Pleasant Tap), SW Cascadilla Falls (E Dubai) and MGSP Highball (Lemon Drop Kid). Hot-handed Chad Brown saddles She Doesn't Mind (Fr) (Meshaheer) in this Stateside bow. A shock 3 1/2-length winner at first asking–defeating well-regarded Aga Khan homebred Roshanara (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), a half-sister to G1 French 1000 Guineas Rosanara (Fr) (Sinndar {Ire}) back into third–going about seven furlongs at Maisons-Laffitte Oct. 16, the step up to a mile should be well within the bay's scope. Owned by Sheep Pond Partners, Tim and Anna Cambron and Bradley Thoroughbreds, She Doesn't Mind will receive first-time Lasix and leaves from gate one. TJCIS PPs

TAILOREDFORSUCCESS (IRE) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), the lone newcomer in this turf affair, represents Klaravich Stables Inc and William Lawrence. One of two representatives of her sire at the 2014 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, she was acquired for $400,000. The Chad Brown trainee is out of a full-sister to G1 Epsom Oaks heroine Casual Look (Red Ransom) and French stakes winner and GI Yellow Ribbon S. third-place finisher Shabby Chic (Red Ransom). Third dam is GI Frizette S. scorer Charleston Rag (Ire) (General Assembly). TJCIS PPs
