Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 21, 2018 Journalists Share Posted September 21, 2018 The brilliant 3-year-old filly Monomoy Girl (Tapizar), a perfect five-for-five this season, gets back to business in Saturday’s GI Cotillion S. at Parx. The GI Kentucky Oaks heroine, freshened following an easy win over Midnight Bisou (Midnight Lute) and Chocolate Martini (Broken Vow) in the GI Coaching Club American Oaks at Saratoga July 22, seeks her fifth straight win at the top level. Monomoy Girl worked a bullet five furlongs for trainer Brad Cox in 1:00 2/5 (1/33) at Churchill Downs Sept. 9. The aforementioned GII Mother Goose S. heroine and Kentucky Oaks third Midnight Bisou, unbeaten in three attempts at this distance, including the GI Santa Anita Oaks, enters off a disappointing third-place finish as the favorite in the 1 1/4-mile GI Alabama S. at Saratoga Aug. 18. After failing to land a blow against the boys in the GI Travers S. Aug. 25, ‘TDN Rising Star’ Wonder Gadot (Medaglia d’Oro) takes another shot at the 3-5 morning-line favorite. Second, beaten only a half-length by Monomoy Girl on the First Friday in May beneath the Twin Spires, the Ontario-bred returned to sweep the first two legs of the Canadian Triple Crown–the Queen’s Plate S. at Woodbine June 30 and the Prince of Wales S. at Fort Erie July 24. ‘TDN Rising Star’ Separationofpowers (Candy Ride {Arg}) stretches to two turns following a game win in the seven-furlong GI Test S. at the Spa Aug. 4. She finished fourth in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar in her previous lone attempt at this distance.
