Live Oak Plantation's SOUPER CHARLOTTE (Warrior's Reward) was the most expensive of her sire's 37 yearlings reported as sold in 2017 when hammering for $325K at KEESEP last fall. A full-sister to 'TDN Rising Star' Unbridled Reward, who aired by 7 3/4 lengths on debut and was second in the Debutante S. in her two career starts for trainer Mark Casse, the April foal is also kin to SP Southern Parkway (Lemon Drop Kid) and MSP Belleofthebridle (Yes It's True) and is out of a half-sister to the good turf distaffer Turkappeal (Turkoman), dam of GIII Natalma S. victrix Pink Champagne (Awesome Again) and SW Z Appeal (Ghostzapper). Further down the page is GI Spinaway S. winner Mani Bhavan (Storm Boot). Tom Durant homebred Scatrattleandroll (Scat Daddy) is out of Grade III-placed Haley's Lolipop (Cuvee), a half-sister to the fleet Maddalena (Good and Tough). TJCIS PPs

The split of this race has attracted a good-looking group led by the rail-drawn CHOCOLATE KISSES (Candy Ride (Arg)&log=">Candy Ride {Arg}). Acquired for $410K out of last year's FTSAUG sale, the bay is a daughter of GSW (turf) and GISP (main) Brownie Points (Meadowlake), whose 5-year-old Synchrony (Tapit) won this year's GIII Muniz Memorial S. earlier this year and is a candidate for the GI Arlington Million in two months' time.

RESTRUCTURE (Blame&log=">Blame) has been made the 2-1 morning-line favorite on the strength of a postive-looking worktab for this first career go. A homebred for Shel Evans, the dark bay is out of an unraced half-sister to GSW Golden Spikes (Seeking the Gold) and SW Al Muhtasib (Distorted Humor). Her Grade I-winning third dam Shared Interest (Pleasant Colony)–a half to GISW Sewickley–was responsible for GISW Forestry (Storm Cat) as well as GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies' winner Cash Run (Seeking the Gold), dam of European SW & MGSP Great War Eagle (Storm Cat).
