Godolphin homebred COOGEE BAY (Lonhro {AUS}) makes her debut in the first division of this maiden affair over the Keeneland course with plenty of pedigree to live up to. Trained by Eoin Harty, the dark bay's late dam Manistique (Unbridled) won nine graded stakes in her career, including three Grade I's en route to $1,311,800 in earnings. Robert S. Evans's Squeeze (Lemon Drop Kid) debuts for the Christophe Clement barn. Purchased for $350,000 as a Keeneland September yearling, she's a half-sister to 'TDN Rising Star' and GIII Delta Jackpot S. winner Ocho Ocho Ocho (Street Sense), while her third dam is champion mare Personal Ensign (Private Account). Morning line favoritism goes to Juddmonte Farms' Assembly (Candy Ride {Arg}). Trained by Bill Mott, the homebred finished third in her Mar. 27 debut at Gulfstream behind 'TDN Rising Star' Take These Chains (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}). TJCIS PPs

Heider Family Stables' PRIVATE CLIENT (Kitten's Joy) is an intriguing prospect in the second division of this maiden group.

Shug McGaughey sends out Andrew Rosen's debutante Creative Director (War Front), the first foal out of Group 3 winner and Group 1 placed Theyskens' Theory (Bernardini), who also finished second in the GI Garden City S. in the United States and is a half-sister to champion 2-year-old colt Stevie Wonderboy (Stephen Got Even).

St Elias Stable's DONTWASTEURPRETTY (Unbridled's Song), a $500,000 Keeneland September yearling buy, begins her career in this tough maiden field at Tampa. The bay sophomore is out of a GSW half to MGISW turfer Pure Clan (Pure Prize) and MGSW Greater Good (Intidab). Lael Stables' firster Street Play (Street Sense) goes out for the dangerous Arnaud Delacour barn. The homebred's dam was the brilliant MGISW turfer and $2,261,594 earner Megahertz (GB) (Pivotal {GB}), who is also a full-sister to MGSW & MGISP Heaven Sent (GB). Christophe Clement will also be represented with Orrin Ingram's debutante Blame It On Me (Blame">Blame), who's out of a GSW in Canada and has been working steadily at Payson Park, most recently recording a bullet four furlongs in :50 Apr. 15.
