Race 9: Happen (#2)

• Was running on well at the end of the Group 1 Coronation Stakes last time, where she finished ahead of Belmont Oaks runner-up Just Wonderful.
• Is bred to relish added ground as a daughter of Alexandrova, a 3-time Group 1 winner at 1 1/2 miles.
• Is going to be dismissed at a square price due to the popularity of heavy favorite Concrete Rose.
